How Veo2 and Pencil Pro Are Transforming AI-Driven Travel Marketing and Video Production
AI-generated video content has become a practical and scalable tool, reshaping how travel marketers connect with their audiences. Veo2 stands out as the first generative video model that is both legally secure and creatively advanced. Built with marketers in mind, it creates high-quality video content within seconds, eliminating the need for lengthy, costly on-location shoots. This is a major advantage for travel marketers who want to produce engaging and original visuals without the usual operational expenses.
Now integrated into Pencil Pro, Veo2 offers more than just speed. It delivers creative control, intellectual property protection, and ensures alignment with brand and marketing standards. This makes it a dependable solution for global brands, especially in industries like travel and tourism where demand is high. Pencil Pro enhances Veo2 by providing precise AI prompt guidance based on brand guidelines and uses AI-driven scoring systems to check compliance with marketing frameworks such as Google’s ABCD.
AI Collaboration in Action: Japan Airlines’ In-Flight Videos
A notable example is the partnership with Japan Airlines (JAL) to produce AI-generated in-flight video content. The Gemini model from Google played a key role by suggesting creative treatments, scene ideas, and script options. The human creative team curated these suggestions into polished final videos. This approach cut the entire production process—from concept to completion—to just a few hours, highlighting AI's ability to speed up campaign creation without replacing human creativity.
The project involved a collaboration between teams from Brandtech’s Pencil, Jellyfish, and Japan Airlines. Together, they demonstrated how AI can be a collaborative partner that enhances creative output and efficiency.
Vision for AI in Travel Marketing
Minako Kent, Managing Director of Global Marketing at Japan Airlines, sees AI as essential for delivering personalized and relevant content across all digital channels. She notes that AI-generated content will extend beyond advertisements and destination guides to enhance the entire customer journey. This means travelers receive timely, relevant information that aligns with their interests and travel habits, improving their overall experience.
Ensuring Brand Compliance and Creative Control
Pencil Pro supports marketers by helping them craft AI prompts that align with brand guidelines. It uses AI models like Gemini to interpret brand instructions and ensure prompts are accurately worded. Additionally, Pencil Pro provides AI-based scoring to verify that generated content complies with standards like Google’s ABCD framework. This combination helps maintain brand integrity while using AI for video production.

The integration of Veo2 and Pencil Pro makes it easier and more cost-effective to create platform-specific video content. Marketers can now produce content tailored for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and others without the high costs traditionally involved. This opens up opportunities to run localized and personalized creative tests, adapt content rapidly, and target audiences more precisely.
With reduced costs and faster turnaround times, marketers can experiment more and optimize campaigns across multiple platforms effectively.
