The decision to begin having a social presence was a slow one. There were several concerns that needed to be addressed. For example, our target audience is airline employees in a position to either make or influence the IFE purchase decision. That’s a pretty narrow group. How do you find those people online?
We’ve launched a new website designed around the information you want
Using analytics and on-site surveys (thank you if you answered one of them), we found that our old site wasn’t setup to allow you to quickly and easily find the right information.

I think a lot about branding. Probably too much. Often, I find myself considering what a brand means and is a product so commoditized that your brand doesn’t matter. Obviously as an In-flight Services Manager at an airline, you care a lot about the brand of a manufacturing company. Tried and true companies are more [...]

A common belief that we run into from time to time is that early window titles are always more preferred over classic titles.
