Challenge

Forward Media was hired to scale this low-cost airline. Our mission was to drive ticket sales, create sustainable revenue, and expand the customer database.

They provide flights both in and out of the country’s largest cities and are currently expanding internationally to provide even more routes for consumers. Currently, the airline market is consolidated with legacy carriers and points programs, with a massive key to success centering on the ability to efficiently connect directly with customers online. Forward Media’s challenge when taking on this client was not only to increase booking revenue, but also to drastically increase overall brand awareness. They also strived to boost booking revenue for existing routes, anticipated expansion routes and new international markets.

Solution

Forward Media reviewed and analyzed the previous digital marketing provider’s performance, allowing them to set new goals, benchmarks and milestones with each individual target market the client had in mind.
