PHL Wingmate Pass: Don’t Miss a Moment

Airports are more than places of departure and arrival—they’re where some of life’s most meaningful moments happen. Reunions. Farewells. First flights. Long-awaited returns home.

The PHL Wingmate Pass gives non-ticketed visitors access beyond security, allowing them to escort loved ones to the gate, welcome arriving travelers, attend airport events, and experience more of what PHL has to offer. As a driver of both visitor engagement and airport revenue, increasing awareness and adoption of the program became a key priority for PHL.

PHL partnered with us to increase awareness, establish a recognizable identity for Wingmate, and drive pass registrations. To build recognition, we first developed a distinct visual identity for the program that aligned with PHL’s broader brand system. A wing-inspired logo became an ownable brand asset, creating a consistent presence across every touchpoint.

Audience research and market analysis revealed that Wingmate isn’t just about airport access—it’s about helping people show up for important occasions. That insight became the foundation for Don’t Miss a Moment, repositioning Wingmate from a functional pass into an emotional extension of the travel experience.

Through video, social, digital advertising, and storytelling, the campaign highlighted the moments that matter most—from helping a nervous first-time flyer navigate the airport to welcoming a loved one home at the gate. Audience-specific creative spoke to caregivers, greeters, explorers, and event attendees, while reinforcing a shared message: Don’t miss a moment.
