Ok so this was an April Fools joke. But believe it or not kulula's attempt to trademark the sky did have a few people going for a while. The announcement came the week after kulula made headlines around the world for its cheeky new advertising campaign and the subsequent unamused reaction from FIFA. For April Fools we issued a release claiming to have trademarked the sky between 10000 ft and 35000 ft. We also produced a handy PDF guide to the trademark ... Read More

kulula is gearing up for the World Cup with a burst of activity. First off the latest design for one of their new 737-800's went supernova on the blogosphere (before the plane even touched down in South Africa). The story pretty much sold itself (but we were responsible for seeding it with some key bloggers). Coverage included some of the world's biggest blogs including Boing Boing (which crashed local blogger Chris Rawlinson's site when it linked to him) and Gizmodo. We then ... Read More

Atmosphere recently launched the Kulula beach index for kulula.com. We worked with a freelance economist to figure out the cheapest beach destinations in South Africa - just in time for the summer holiday season. To get the figures we looked at the price of fish & chips amongst other typical holiday costs for a family of four. Stillbaai in the Western Cape came out as the cheapest and Camps Bay in Cape Town (maybe not surpisingly) came out as most expensive. The ... Read More

Based on the insight that most people’s inflight entertainment for short haul trip these days is on there iPod we have put together a pilot podcast that is now available on the kulula air home page.

We invited Seth from 2oceansvibe, brad from beer salon &Union, Thierry from Z News and The Kings of Vegas along for ... Read More

Well as far as we know it is... From next friday we'll be running pub quizzes on Twitter for Irish Whiskey brand Bushmills. The idea is pretty simple starting at lunchtime we'll send out questions (to which the answer won't be easily found on google) and we'll select a winner from people that send us a correct response to all questions. The activity is part of a TTL (through the line) promotion that gives away the Bushmills company car go to www.bushmills.co.za ... Read More

Our Joburg office had to order nearly 90kg of multicoloured jellybeans for a media drop to celebrate Plascon's national colour day. We suspect there's going to be some sore but happy tummies around the nation's radio stations where they were delivered this morning. The Atmosphere team in both offices made a special effort to add some colour to our outfits (i'm wearing a rather fetching pair of yellow converse for example). - Dan Read More
