Writing samples case study

01 — Background

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the travel landscape changed drastically - becoming one of the biggest downturns in history.

Working for a corporate travel company, travelers expected us to get information to them quickly and with expert guidance and forecasting.

02 — The research

Our audience told us that that they wanted to stay informed about travel changes — everything from flight cancellations to pilot shortages, price changes to on-time performance.

03 — The approach

My strategy was to update our audience quarterly with our outlook and summary of events, alongside more frequent immediate updates.

The following pieces are all writing samples that I wrote during this period.

Quarterly updates

I wrote these longer format pieces using research, interviews with colleagues, and my own expertise to keep our travelers informed about longer-term changes and projections.

Regular updates

I wrote these pieces as news broke about travel updates, and they were updated frequently with new information.

04 — Results

We were able to establish our brand's trust and authority in what was a volatile time for the travel industry.
