[Free Report] The State of Airline Marketing 2013: 8 Key Trends and Case Studies

Airline marketing is in its most exciting phase ever. It is being transformed, re-moulded and re-fashioned to suit the changing behaviour, habits, desires and needs of the modern, connected travellers. In addition, airline marketing today is also increasingly aware of modern technologies influenced primarily by the proliferation of the internet and smartphones — such as social networks and location-awareness — which are being leveraged creatively to engage consumers.

Besides dreaming up experiental marketing and creative – traditional media-based – initiatives, airlines around the world are equipping themselves with the tools and know-how to conquer the digital marketing revolution, experimenting with new social media platforms and launching mobile campaigns that link the online with the offline world.

Today’s travellers are no longer contented with just accepting whatever good or ill the airline dishes out to them. They are extremely tuned in to the power of social media, as citizens of a virtually connected world. An airline brand can no longer be “controlled” by the management and corporate speak.

8 Key Trends Identified from over 100 case-studies

In response, airlines around the world are launching increasingly innovative campaigns to engage their customers and drive results from social media. More ostensibly, we are witnesses to an ever-more competitive arena where brand-conscious airlines are utlizing the power of digital media to build unique brands and develop strong online customer engagement initiatives. And even when the real initiative happens offline, airlines, more often than not, depend on their online audience to spread the buzz.

Over the last six months, SimpliFlying and airlinetrends.com have published a premium Airline Marketing Benchmark Report (more details below). Published monthly, the report contains a selection of 15 of the most innovative marketing and advertising campaigns launched by airlines around the world and assesses their impact.

Initiatives range from Crowdsourcing to Social Care to Experiential Marketing. Each trend is accompanied by an illustrative case-study.
