1time Airline today announced its partnership with creative agency DaVinciEdisonBell, which officially began working on the airline’s creative boutique from 1 June 2009. DaVinciEdisonBell is creatively driven and managed by partners Patrick Robertson and Angela Collins. 1Time believes the agency to be exactly aligned with the airline’s vision of excellence. Robertson’s interest in aviation extends as far as holding a Private Pilot License himself, and, together with Collin’s energy and focused excitement, the airline looks forward to a successful relationship in future.

Both Collins and Robertson honed their skills working at some of the world’s best advertising agencies, both locally and in London. Highly awarded, their work has been recognised by juries at D&AD, New York Festivals, One Show, Clio and many other international and local awards shows.

Marketing Manager of 1time, Anya Potgieter says: “When we parted ways with our previous creative agency, we knew what we were looking for in a new agency. Our mission was to find a perfect fit. An agency that had creative ideas, as well as business thoughts and of course, an agency with which we could have a good working relationship.

Our culture as an airline is employing great people, and with an agency, we wanted people we can relate to, with a flat structure where we will integrate and be able to be free to express our objectives to the very people who come up with the creative solutions."
