Client: Oxfam

Luxury travel is rarely seen as anything other than aspirational, yet its true cost on the planet is staggering.

That’s the critical message we helped deliver in collaboration with Oxfam in a bold new film taking a hard look at the environmental toll of the super-wealthy’s high-flying lifestyles. Our film ‘Unfairways.com’ introduces a fictional airline that caters to the ultra-rich, contrasting their opulent choices with the devastating impacts of climate change on those least responsible. By using satirical humour, we crafted a message that’s impossible to ignore. It’s not about elite jet-setters; it’s about the stark inequality at the heart of the climate crisis. The film’s message is both urgent and clear: it’s time for government action to tax luxury travel, making those most responsible contribute fairly. With every frame of the film, we emphasised the contrast between carbon-heavy luxuries like private jets and the vulnerable communities paying the price for these excesses. Since the film’s launch we’ve seen powerful traction across social channels. Our client had a target of hitting 120,000 signatures to the open letter in 12 months – we hit 25% of this target within just the first two months! Since the launch of this campaign, UK Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has since announced a 50% increase in air passenger duty – a huge step forward in UK taxation on luxury travel.
