Wego Introduces Weegio: A Playful Alien Character to Lead Its Brand
Refresh
September 9, 2025

Wego, the number one travel app and the largest online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), has unveiled
a bold new chapter in its brand story with the introduction of Weegio, a pint-sized alien traveler who embodies the brand’s spirit of
exploration and innovation. This marks the first time a travel brand in the MENA region has introduced a character to personify its
identity, setting Wego apart in a crowded marketplace.

Weegio is designed to humanize the Wego brand through character storytelling, making it instantly recognizable and emotionally
relatable. As a character, he reflects the values of curiosity, humor, and wanderlust, while acting as a trusted travel companion for
Wego’s diverse audience.
Roxana Nicolescu, VP Brand Marketing at Wego, said:
“People don’t connect with logos; they connect with stories and personalities. With Weegio, we’ve created a character that feels alive
— a curious, helpful, and funny guide who represents the way our users feel about travel. He simplifies complex features, reacts to
trends, and makes the Wego experience not just useful, but also entertaining.”

Weegio’s unique alien design is directly tied to Wego’s brand identity, incorporating the company’s bold colors and playful energy.
Speaking in his own quirky “Weegish” language — developed with the help of professional sound engineers and AI — he brings to life
the tagline “The best travel deals in the Universe” across video, social media, and campaign touchpoints.

“Weegio represents a big step forward for us as we continue to innovate in how we connect with our audience. He’s more than a
mascot — he’s a flexible content anchor that allows us to tell stories, explain features, and tap into culture in a way that is authentic
and instantly recognizable. This refresh gives us a powerful edge as we build stronger connections with younger generations of
travelers and differentiate Wego in the global travel space.” added Roxana Nicolescu.

Wego’s brand refresh aims to humanize the brand through storytelling, create a distinctive visual identity with a recurring symbol for
better recall, and engage younger travelers by reflecting their humor, cultural references, and aspirations. Additionally, the refresh
seeks to streamline content creation with an adaptable character and bridge the community and brand by making Weegio a voice for
travelers’ emotions and wanderlust.

As Wego rolls out Weegio across its platforms, users will start seeing him in social-first campaigns, animated skits, memes, travel
tips, and even potential offline formats like merchandise and social media filters — all reinforcing Wego’s commitment to be more
than just a booking app, but a companion in every traveler’s journey.
