DHL launched an advertising campaign on 20 October that will run across newspaper and magazines through to the end of 2008. The campaign will communicate speedy delivery and increasingly sophisticated services and solutions to highlight DHL’s superiority in exporting capabilities.

This campaign focuses on three DHL services – DHL EXPRESS PALLET, DHL BREAKBULK EXPRESS, and DHL EXPRESS 9:00 / DHL EXPRESS 12:00 – and are focused on communicating the characteristics of these services as well as highlighting the service advantage DHL promises to its customers in an easily comprehensible manner.

Pilots protest UPS-DHL plan

Posted by | Oct 23, 2008 | |

The Air Line Pilots Association is up in arms over DHL’s proposed service contract with UPS.
The agreement would give UPS all of DHL’s U.S. air freight business and erode competition in the air cargo market.
ALPA points to a new page on UPS’ Web site as an indication that what DHL has called a vendor contract agreement with UPS is really a poorly disguised preamble to a merger.
John Prater, President of ALPA, said, “This website reveals the true nature of this deal, which was never designed to provide better package delivery services to the North American public. Congress needs to get to the bottom of this deal, which is bad for the already struggling U.S. economy.”
ALPA contends that statements on the Web site contradict the companies’ congressional testimony that the deal is not a merger and does not violate antitrust regulation.
