While working for a corporate travel management company in the biggest travel downturn in decades, my goal was to continue to acquire and retain corporate customers in a rapidly changing multi-touch media environment.

  2. Understanding evolving travel programs

  3. Optimizing travel spend and budget

Before launching a comprehensive, multi-touch marketing campaign, I set a baseline for current performance across the following channels:

Nurture programs

The campaign would showcase how our travel technology helped meet our audience's needs as defined above:

  1. Technology to monitor travelers

  2. Evolving travel programs

  3. Maximizing budget
