Case Study: American Airlines launches Cadet Academy with Boom Crate Studios

American Airlines launches Cadet Academy in under a month with Boom Crate Studios

American Airlines approached Boom Crate Studios with the challenge of developing branding and storytelling for their new Cadet Academy pilot training program. The project required a completely animated solution due to restrictions on filming actual pilots or cadets, and it needed to be completed on an extremely tight timeline of under a month to support the program's launch.

Boom Crate Studios developed a 2D animated piece using a monochromatic illustration style based on American Airlines' red, white, and blue color palette. Their solution told a visual story of a pilot's career progression and successfully launched on schedule. The program premiered as a roaring success for the airline, with Boom Crate Studios noting the project was a fantastic partnership.
