[Free Report] The State of Airport Marketing: 7 Key Trends & Case-Studies

After publishing a hugely successful State of Airline Marketing Report last month, which was downloaded over 1000 times, we’re back with another free report, this time aimed at the good folks leading marketing at airports! 

Airport marketing is finally waking up to the immense opportunities in the age of the connected traveller. Airports are not just engaging travellers and providing customer service online, but also gaining real-time, location-specific customer intelligence, while driving revenues. Moreover, traditional, offline airport marketing campaigns themselves are becoming ever more creative and tuned-in to the needs of the Connected Travellers of today. 

Innovation across Marketing as well as Air Service Development

As such, airport marketing is fast shedding its traditional conservativeness. Marketers are seeking to fly higher and engage passengers with innovative campaigns, both online and offline. In this transformational age of airport marketing, apart from investing in experiential marketing campaigns that delight and surprise travellers, many airports around the world are equipping themselves with the tools and know-how to leverage the digital marketing revolution, experimenting with new social media platforms and launching mobile campaigns that link the online and the offline world.

Importantly, airport marketing today is not only a function of communications. Instead, airports are increasingly competing to attract passengers from nearby airports as well as simultaneously improve their route network. This has led to a number of airports investing in innovative air service development initiatives, that seek to attract new passengers and, ultimately, new service. 

7 Key Trends with Accompanying Case-Studies

Our State of Airport Marketing 2013 report identifies the seven most important trends that define airport marketing today, and includes detailed case-studies with each trend that showcase how some of the best airports in the world are adopting a new approach to marketing their airports. If you can’t wait anymore, you can download the report right away by clicking below.
