London, UK – Jellyfish, the global digital marketing company under The Brandtech Group, has introduced a new AI-driven media in-housing platform as part of a broader rebrand that includes updated visuals and a new tagline.

The new platform, built on Jellyfish’s automated marketing system, integrates proprietary AI tools, including the recently launched Media Ops Agent. Previously used with brand clients, this is the first time Jellyfish is offering the full suite as an end-to-end solution, allowing marketers to automate media research, evaluation, content strategy, and activation in-house.

The platform’s AI-driven workflows help marketers launch campaigns 65% faster, cut infrastructure costs by 22%, and improve performance by an average of 30%. It also ensures error-free execution, adhering to Google, Meta, and Amazon best practices within hours.

Additionally, the platform automatically adjusts campaigns to stay within budget and optimises performance every two hours, running 24/7 for continuous improvement.

“In merely a year, we have been able to create 235,000 pieces of content for three of the world’s top 10 advertisers, with the content on average being produced 62% faster and 55% cheaper and delivering a 40% improvement in ROI. This represents a totally new integrated AI approach – driving remarkable results,” said Natalie Winford, chief solutions officer at Jellyfish.

Jeff Matisoff, partner at Jellyfish, further explained, “For brands eager to take control of their media, Jellyfish’s new media in-housing platform automates marketing analytics, freeing teams to focus on strategy, not data entry. Moreover, it also integrates an advanced MMM tool, which quickly and precisely determines the marketing contribution to KPIs to make macro budgetary decisions.”

“Thanks to Jellyfish’s agentic media system, it’s finally time for marketers to power their in-house media teams with AI as opposed to just shifting agency headcount into their own org. In-housing demand is high, with the ANA reporting that 80% of its members have in-house agencies – and AI is predicted to spark expansion,” Matisoff added.

Jellyfish’s new tool builds on its long-standing support for brands bringing media in-house. Previously, the company facilitated in-housing through its Jellyfish Training programme, which offers over 250 courses on social media, search, and programmatic. In the past year alone, 15 new courses were added on generative AI.

This expertise is reinforced by The Brandtech Group’s OLIVER, the first company dedicated to building and managing in-house marketing ecosystems. OLIVER currently supports over 500 brands across nearly 50 countries.

The platform marks the final phase of Jellyfish’s 12-month AI development program, which revamped key marketing functions, including insights, SEO, content, activation, and reporting. The transformation aligns with The Brandtech Group’s focus on large-scale Gen AI services since 2018.

To mark this milestone, Jellyfish is rebranding with a new logo, visual identity, and the tagline “Move Faster, Smarter, Together”, reflecting its AI-driven transformation and entrepreneurial roots.

“In the last 12 months we have challenged ourselves to build and run tech that answers client needs around speed, insight, transparency, measurement, invention and cost. This latest launch is a primary example of a totally new marketing strategy – underpinned by AI,” said Nick Emery, CEO of Jellyfish. 

He continued, “Our new identity reflects our ability to combine both left and right brains for progressive brands in ways that others can’t. We are about speed, outcomes and invention. As ‘Good to Great’ says, you can’t invent your company identity; you have to discover it. You cannot just claim to be something that you inherently are not. ‘Move Faster, Smarter, Together with AI’ is true to our entrepreneurial DNA, our amazing, inventive talent and the cutting-edge technology we develop every day.”

Meanwhile, Jo Wallace, global executive creative director at Jellyfish, said, “Crafting Jellyfish’s new brand was an enticing challenge. We set out to capture the company’s collaborative energy, diverse expertise, and AI prowess, bringing them together in a dynamic visual identity that demonstrates how we ‘Move Smarter, Faster, Together’ to drive growth for our clients.”

USA – Japan Airlines (JAL) has teamed up with global digital marketing firm Jellyfish to launch its latest global brand campaign, ‘You Mean the World,’ starring Liverpool FC players.

Japan Airlines’ (JAL) new campaign highlights its commitment to ‘omotenashi,’ Japan’s tradition of selfless hospitality, emphasising personalised service for every traveller. It aims to make every passenger feel valued, whether in the air or on the ground.

The campaign draws parallels between travel and football, featuring Liverpool FC players to symbolise shared experiences and JAL’s dedication to exceptional service.

As the official airline partner of Liverpool FC, JAL’s campaign features players Dominik Szoboszlai, Darwin Núñez, and Jenna Clark in visuals incorporating symbolic elements such as crane feathers for tranquillity, butterflies for travel excitement, and cherry blossoms for renewal. Developed through 3D scans by Mayda Creative Co., the imagery combines traditional and modern design influences.

Minako Kent, managing director of global marketing at Japan Airlines, said, “Our new overseas advertising campaign aims to inspire potential travellers and showcase the exceptional service that can be expected when travelling with us to destinations around the world. We also want each and every customer to know how much they are valued through a simple yet sincere message expressing that they mean the world to us.”

Mayumi Tatsuta, VP creative at Jellyfish, added, “Our goal was to capture the magic of travel through Japan Airlines’ lens of omotenashi. This campaign celebrates those unforgettable moments where care, comfort, and wonder converge.”

The You Mean the World campaign has launched across connected TV, online video, social media, and digital out-of-home platforms in the UK, US, Thailand, and Singapore.

London, United Kingdom – Digital marketing business Jellyfish has announced a partnership with Japan Airlines to create an entirely new look and feel for the brand. For this partnership, Jellyfish worked alongside the airline’s international marketing team to develop a new graphic system that expands the power and flexibility of the brand’s visual identity for audiences outside of Japan. 

Inspired by the brand’s future direction, and with a brief to align its tradition and unique culture, Jellyfish was responsible for creating an updated tone of voice reflecting Japan Airlines’ commitment to providing exceptional experiences, reliability and Japanese hospitality.

Jellyfish also made an entirely new design system for the airline comprising different graphic elements that make brand assets distinctive and memorable – including the introduction of the Japan Airlines dot pattern, inspired by the Japanese flag and Japan Airlines’ iconic logo. As a mnemonic device, the patterns offer a memorable cue for the brand and create a sense of movement through a series of dots that can scale and adapt in infinite ways. 

The dynamic patterns can stand on their own, overlay onto simple backgrounds and imagery – and act as a graphic device to transition between imagery, text, color and video. There is also a logo lockup update to ensure consistent use and fit for digital applications, whilst retaining its heritage

The elevated brand image also features new approach to typography including a new brand typeface, Aksen, inspired by the dynamic curves of the Tsurumaru, Japan Airlines’ iconic logo. Its swooping forms and wide stance evoke both the golden age of jet travel and a focus on a positive future

Lastly, the introduction of new iconography and illustration that complements and aligns with Japanese culture, inspired by the curves of the crane, as well as the variation of the thick and thin strokes present in brush calligraphy.

Minako Kent, international marketing MD at Japan Airlines, says, “Tradition and culture lie at the heart of our ethos, and we also recognize the importance of delivering a fresh, consistent look-and-feel for our customers across all channels and regions. We partnered with Jellyfish because of their agility and one-stop service in media, data, tech, and creativity — they fully understand the needs of brands in today’s world. Because of this, we’ve been able to reimagine our whole visual identity to create a world-class omnichannel experience befitting our iconic brand.”

Meanwhile, Michael Walsh Kirwan, VP creative at Jellyfish, commented, “Japan Airlines came to us with a significant challenge – to breathe new life into a storied brand that was due a refresh across global markets. We’ve created an entirely new visual identity that ushers in a new era of modernity, flexibility and dynamism for the brand, and we’re excited to see it rolled out on an international scale”.

Lastly, David Heasty, design lead comments, “Collaborating with Japan Airlines on the redesign of their visual identity was a dream project. Each design element was carefully crafted to honor the legacy of Japan Airlines while infusing it with a fresh, contemporary energy that speaks to the spirit of innovation that is so core to the brand’s ethos. We embraced the challenge of reimagining the airline’s visual identity and exploring new possibilities to create something truly timeless.”
