Because migrating birds also deserve a unique Airbnb home after a long journey

Airbnb has done some pretty rad marketing in recent past.  Remember the short film Hollywood & Vines that was made entirely from six-second Vine clips?  What about the home made Obama O's that two of the founders created to raise money for their fledgling venture?

Well now Airbnb is all grown up with its first integrated advertising campaign called Birdbnb, which uses a metaphor of migrating birds and birdhouses for travelers and our desire to feel at home whenever we're on the road.

Watch this awesome video here.

But these aren't just ordinary birdhouses.  They're 50 unique bird-sized spaces inspired by real life Airbnb listings from all over the world.  Although they're beautifully constructed by professional artists, the real beauty shines when each of the migrating birds finds a home and starts exploring the cozy living quarters . . . even treating themselves to popcorn while perched on the TV couch!

I couldn't imagine a traditional lodging e-commerce site like Expedia creating an advertisement such as this one.  It really highlights the strong value Airbnb places on creating unique travel experiences through its hundreds of thousands of unique spaces around the world.

I think I can safely speak for the birds when I say, "How could you not love this company!?"
