Problem:
§ When we look at future technologies, how do we align them to real world
applications?
§ When do we push “play” on emerging communication channels?
§ For incumbent providers, how do we advise on technological change, even
when that change looks set to put an existing entity out of business?
The following is a case study only – we looked at how to advise an airline on
how to utilize cryptocurrencies, new social channels (Snapchat) and how to
address advances in solar to future proof brands moving deep into the 21st

Internet Marketing
Strategy
The following Internet Marke2ng Strategy adds emerging
technology and social media channels to the group’s current
strategy in order to generate approximately $6 million in fares
over an 18 month engagement period.
This analysis has been intended as a case study only. The
objec2ve was to align a well-known business model to
emerging technology, social innova2on and find objec2ve
goals and values to align with in the future.
Its not for real real – its for play play.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Three incidents in 2016 prompted the recommended strategy:
F I N T E C H
Fintech became recognized by
a no2ceable number of credible
sources as a likely disruptor to
the banking and financial
sectors globally (Hancock &
Vaizey, 2015), (Coindesk,
2016).
S N A P C H AT
Snapchat daily video check-ins
exceeded those of Facebook
(Frier, 2016) and the top 4
messaging apps usage
exceeded those of the top four
social sites (McKierick, 2016).
S O L A R F L I G H T
The world’s first zero-fuel plane
completed two thirds of an
around the world flight (Solar
Impulse Updates, 2016).
6. 6
Amplifying this; mobile device use
continued to rise after eclipsing
desktop use in 2014, with desktop
usage indicating a progressive dip in
usage since 2014 (Chaffey, 2016).
LinkedIn released a global
employment advertising platform
(iTunes Store LinkedIn Jobs, 2016).

Breakdown of costs can be found in Tables 1, 3 and 4. Table 2 provides Phases and Deliverables.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE
The overall objec2ve is to expose the company to new markets in order to accommodate the
requirements of the companies’ commitments, strategy, values, and mission statement. The cost
to undertake this will be approximately 1.3 million NZD ne. These recommenda2ons should be
seen as addi2onal reinforcement to successful strategies already in place, and to ensure the
ability of the group to maintain profit and reduce the impact from losses in the past.
Please see Appendix B (Problem), Appendix C (Recommended), Appendix D (Summary of
Recommenda2ons) and Appendix E (Costs).

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Jetstar, a member of The Qantas Group is commied to safety, environmental sustainability, and proac2vely managing risk. They
maintain the responsibility to con2nually reduce their environmental footprint. The group’s beliefs include maintaining agility and
harves2ng innova2on. Jetstar’s values include safety, efficiency and a consistently ‘can do’ aotude (Qantas Group, 2015). Further
details are provided in Appendix F.
11. 11
Strategic Focus and Plan
R E V I E W E X I S T I N G O P T I M I Z I N G I N N O V A T I N G I N T E R N E T S T R A T E G I C P L A N
2013 appointed CIO Grianne Kearns established that the strategic focus from an Informa2on Systems (IS) perspec2ve would be to review exis2ng IS “with
a view to op2mizing and innova2ng around our service delivery” (Merre, 2015). The strategic focus of this report is intended to align with this view.
To this end, it seeks growth by offering addi2onal u2lity through ease of payment, u2lizing Snapchat communica2on channels, establishing a narra2ve
framed by the LinkedIn plarorm, and by deliberately exposing the company to the social responsibility and disrup2on posed by advances in solar energy.
Further details are provided in Appendix G.
12. 12
MISSION
Jetstar is “part of the Qantas Group’s dual brand growth strategy, in which Qantas competes at
the premium and business market and Jetstar focuses on leisure markets.” Jetstar’s mission is to
“offer low fares to enable more people to fly to more places, more olen” (Qantas Group, 2015).
“The recommended strategy aims to align with and accentuate Jetstar’s exis8ng mission by enabling
more people to fly to more places more o<en by u8lizing cryptocurrencies and digital wallets at point
of sale.
It enables more people to fly to more places by maintaining contact with exis8ng markets, and
establishing rela8onships with new markets, by u8lizing Snapchat and LinkedIn as channels for
exposure to des8na8ons and to support the message of increased ease of payment.
It aims to offer low fares in the future by suppor8ng new technology to enable solar flights, and u8lizes
this support to connect with more people more o<en”.

GOALS
Goals of Jetstar
The following is assumed and has been extracted from Qantas Groups KPI’s.
Deliver on 2me performance consistency.
PERFORMANCE CONSISTENCY
Raise market awareness of group’s commitment to social responsibility
and decrease carbon footprint
(Qantas Group, 2015).
MARKET AWARENESS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Increase sales and/while maintaining an op2mal capital structure.
INCREASE SALES
Increase percep2on of commitment and adherence to safety.
COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
§ Image: History of travel and trade: Sadly much of the success of trade is due to its roots in slavery.
Slavery was a practise of victors,the conquering armies or nation states tended to utilize human
resources in any way they could,often in trade.Modern trade owes allegiance to something less
sinister however,and a rather unlikely combination.Salt,and North American codfish enabled travel
and the extended life of many goods.Pictured here is Himalayan Rock Salt,renowned for its high
salinity and often traded out of Pakistan.
14. 14
Core Competencies
and Sustainable
Competitive Advantage
Jetstar operate as a tool of The Qantas Group to capture and appeal to a lower end travel
segment, with Qantas seeking to capture a premium segment. The airlines work with each
other to capture a broad segment of the market, while compe22ve in some areas of
crossover. An overall profit reported by the group for Y/E 2015 strengthened public
percep2on and provided shareholders with a 25.4 cent statutory earn on each shareholding
(Qantas Group, 2015). Further informa2on is provided in Appendix H.

15. 15
Situa8onal Analysis:
SWOT and PEST may be found in Appendix I.
Industry:
Airlines compete in a commodi2zed market (Peterson, 2010). In such markets compe2tors match what each other is doing, unable to
afford the slightest advantage to compe2tors. A shared compe22ve aribute considered in travel industries is route. While it is
possible to match all of Jetstar’s compe2tors by route or des2na2on it would prove fruitless to do so; the company would engage in
extensive market analysis in the process of determining growth strategies.
As the recommended strategy is one which builds upon exis2ng strategy it is more worthwhile to segment compe2tors on the
aributes of the recommended strategy. Analysis of such can be found in Table 7 (Industry Analysis) and Appendix O (Channel
Migra2on Matrix).
Compe8tor, Company and Customer:
Analysis has been provided in respect to the recommended strategy across mul2ple Tables and Appendices provided. Please see
Table 6 (Current State) and Appendix M, Appendix O (Channel Migra2on Matrix), Appendix P and in specific detail to the
recommended strategy in Appendix Q (Marke2ng Programme).
SITUATIONAL, INDUSTRY, THREE C’s
16. 16
Jetstar's target market is the leisure segment. This comprises of individuals focused on recrea2on, entertainment, sports, and
tourism. 87% of their market is made up of this segment, 38% of which earn between 50 and 100k NZD per annum. 56% of their
market is female (Jetstar, 2016).
The vast majority of the leisure segment is made up of Millennials and GenXers (Exponen2al Adver2sing Intelligence, 2014).
Further analysis of Qantas segmenta2on can be found in Appendix J.
MARKET PRODUCT FOCUS
MARKETING OBJECTIVES
The overall marke2ng objec2ve is to build on exis2ng applica2ons and communica2on channels u2lized by Jetstar, assess if the
impact has been successful, and to establish informa2on from data gathered that can be used to inform strategy for Jetstar and The
Qantas Group moving forward.
Detailed analysis follows for each aspect of the recommended strategy, KPI’s are listed in Table 8 (Engagements KPIs), Appendix J,
Appendix K and Appendix L.
17. 17
The ini2al objec2ve is to build upon current
success in the group's commitment to
customer service, and to align new
development penetra2on with the group’s
benchmark digital service and culture
strategies around insight, digital
transforma2on and a focus on mobile. This
recommenda2on is also intended to
introduce the group to emerging
opportuni2es in the digital cryptocurrency
market, and align a value proposi2on of
convenience to Asian users of Alipay Digital
Wallet, Google Wallet and Na2onal
Australia Bank’s offering.
U2lizing Snapchat will add another
channel of communica2on to achieve
reach and acquisi2on into emerging
markets (Sta2sta, 2016). LinkedIn can be
used to enable Jetstar to stay in the
evoked set of millennials and GenXers
(LinkedIn, 2015). Engagement churn can
be monitored by analysing opens and
views, direct user engagement can be
recorded by direc2ng an ongoing
campaign to Snapchat users for addi2on
to the Jetstar Story contacts sec2on.
The group has commied to eco-
efficiency and supports various causes in
its community outreach strategy (Jetstar,
2016). Qantas was one of the first
airlines in the world to introduce a
carbon offset program voluntarily. The
annual contribu2on to this fund by the
group averages $1.2 million (Qantas
Group, 2015).

TARGET MARKET
The recommended strategy has been designed to capture four market segments spanning 14 years from 2016 to 2030. These
markets have been defined as Millennials, Snapchat users and Interna2onal Tourists. Market evolu2on has been indicated in
specula2on.
Appendix M illustrates these markets and which aspects of the internet marke2ng strategy is designed to drive engagement
into future phases.

19. 19
Acquisition and Retention
The process of acquisi2on has been designed to integrate within the groups exis2ng
internet marke2ng channels, reten2on is designed to be achieved through use of
LinkedIn.
Appendix O explores analysis and illustrates pragma2c
integra2on in a Channel Migra2on matrix.
20. 20
The recommended digital wallet strategy does not place the
group first in adop2ng this technology (Noonan, 2013), however,
it allows for early adop2on ahead of the adop2on and hype
curve (Gartner, 2015). Adop2on of cryptocurrencies as a direct
means of payment, and adding Jetstar as a direct payee on other
digital wallet plarorms would differen2ate the company against
immediate compe22on in the Oceania and Asia Pacific arenas
(Table 7, Industry Analysis).
Jetstar compe2tor Air New Zealand is already u2lizing Snapchat
(Drescher, 2015). A brief look at the LinkedIn App indicates that
almost all commercial airline carriers have a presence on LinkedIn
in posi2ons adver2sed and company profiles. The opportunity
for differen2a2on on social plarorms exists in the narra2ve of
Jetstar’s journey into cryptocurrencies and digital wallets on
LinkedIn, and by carefully craling a marke2ng strategy that
u2lizes the subtle nuances of the Snapchat plarorm to engage in
depth. Explana2on of such is covered in Table 7 (Industry
Analysis), Appendix P (Posi2oning) and Appendix Q (Marke2ng
Programme).
DIFFERENTIATION
21. 21
DIFFERENTIATION
The defining differen2ator is in covering solar flight. The
technology is not new, but the opportunity to support solar
flight and development is. Support of the technology would
differen2ate the company from compe2tors, it is hoped that
ac2vely establishing rela2onships into this technology may
enable Jetstar to provide the first solar passenger flight.

22. 22
The recommended internet market
strategy promotes more people to fly to
more places more often through
communication and convenience. This
is illustrated in Table 6 as a Maturity
Model, and in Appendix P (Positioning).
POSITIONING
§ Trade Innovation Brexit in time:“Bitcoin has been trading like one of its
oldest antecedents as investors speculate on the odds of Britain voting to
leave the European Union in Thursday’s referendum.The digital currency
slid to an almost three-week low on Thursday,while gold retreated for a
fourth day,after bookmakers’ odds onWednesday favoured a win for
“Remain." If the vote goes the other way,traders expect a slump in risky
securities such as stocks.” Source: Bloomberg
23. 23
The strategy provides an assessment period with the ability to
build on success if sa2sfactory KPIs are met. Mul2ple
dimensions have been described as a means to move from
current state to a desired “to be” state. The proposed strategy
requires significant resource alloca2on, involves mul2ple layers
of risk, and will require careful planning. Therefore, an extensive
roadmap is recommended in order to install checkpoints and is
listed in Appendix Q (Product).
The main driver in support of Jetstar’s price strategy is to reduce
fric2on between point of decision and place of purchase by
allowing more op2ons for payment, and ease of doing so, via
APIs within the Jetstar App, and crea2ng Jetstar as a payee in
exis2ng digital wallets such as Alipay, Google Wallet and Apple
Pay. The second driver is to deliver this message through new
social media channels, con2nue the conversa2on with exis2ng
markets, while developing a rela2onship with emerging markets.
It is hoped that the support of solar technology will amplify the
main and secondary drivers of the recommended strategy. See
Appendix Q (Price).
MARKETING PROGRAM
24. 24
Advances in technology, combined with a consumer shil in
focus to smart and mobile devices, have created opportuni2es
for businesses and marketers to understand and interact with
markets at points of the customer decision journey and demand
spaces. Furthermore, the speed at which complex messages can
be broadcast is enabling a cadence similar to that of a face to
face interac2on (Johnston, 2015). The recommended strategy
focuses on mobile in alignment with consumer growth in this
area and is expanded upon in Appendix Q (Place and Promo2on
Strategy).
The group’s promo2on strategy supports resilience to external
vola2lity by serving the widest range of customers and enabling
opportuni2es for growth. They achieve this through a
disciplined financial framework, tailoring services based on
customers’ needs and uni2ng people behind shared goals for the
future (Qantas Group, 2015).
The recommended internet marke2ng plan will support the
promo2on strategy by increasing customer payment viability
through advances in fin-tech, exposing the brand to more
customers by increasing the use of social media channels, and by
uni2ng people behind shared goals through support of solar.
This is explored across channels in Appendix Q (Place and
Promo2on Strategy).
MARKETING PROGRAM
25. 25
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The proposed implementa2on plan is carried out over 18 months with addi2onal 2me to sele
on details prior to a green light status, and an assessment period following to discuss findings
and next steps.
Flag points have been provided for assessment and repor2ng throughout the implementa2on.
An ini2al Maturity Model has been provided, please see Table 6.
Total development has been priced at $500,000 and staffing (including Professional Services) at
$826,000
Total development costs are 1.326 million NZD and are net/ne.
Costs have been considered for calcula2on against EBIT, the group’s preferred repor2ng format.
Usual Airline units of produc2on such as ASK/ASM (Available Seat Kilometres/Miles) and
CASM/CASK (cents to operate ASK and ASM respec2vely) have been avoided for simplicity.
Detailed breakdowns may be found in Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and Appendix R.

way to use the seating to help power the plane.By 2050,it envisages the
introduction of morphing seats which can harvest passenger’s body heat to
power aircraft systems.
26. 26
These recommenda2ons are gateways however. The aim is that through this process
Jetstar is exposed to iden2fy changes in the marketplace that threaten their core
strategy and mission. It is recommended that “offer low fares” be addressed. It is
recommended that Jetstar diversify into electric driverless cars, and pilotless flying
drones, and begin to offer these services in areas that have weather condi2ons that suit
either op2on. Strategies, goals and mission statements have to change over 2me, it is
recommended that in light of technology Jetstar change their mission to “create
affordable and sustainable op2ons to enable more people to connect, in more places,
more olen.”
RECOMENDATIONS
The recommenda2on is that Fintech is explored across 2 APIs, to adapt one to the
Jetstar App and website, and another wrapped API that can be adapted to exis2ng digital
wallets such as Google Wallet and Alipay. That a campaign covering Snapchat and
LinkedIn is ins2gated, and finally, that Jetstar begins a campaign illustra2ng coverage and
support of green and solar energy technological developments, with a par2cular
emphasis on solar flight.

1. No current digital wallet use, opportunities exist
to reduce purchase friction. 2. No member of the
Qantas group utilize Snapchat or LinkedIn. High
emerging market use of Snapchat, millenial market
maturing, opportunity exists to engage with emerging
markets and maintain relationship with maturing
incumbents. 3. Alignment with solar presents
opportunities for brand equity within existing and
emerging markets, and rich content creation
broadcast across channels.
A basic assessment process to establish
baseline understanding of performance
and competitive positioning after initial
penetration. Performance against KPIs
considered. Risk assessmnet of digital
wallets performed. Brief assessment of
any adverse feedback from market

More focused approach for defining
parameters and objectives for
assessment. Assessment includes an
analysis of competiter reactions,
customer feedback, digital engagement,
relative positioning of Jetstar on new

dynamics (positive/negative/% of KPI).
Structured assessment that results in
a good understanding of performance

Customer Insight This phase assumes the following as a baseline.
Maturity assessment draws from the following
assumptions: 1. Company is aware of need to
conduct market research. 2. May not know where
data is or how best to obtain it. 3. Segmentation
attributes focus on demographics and transaction
data rather than behavioral. 4. Organization can
describe customers by simple/outdated or non useful
metrics such as sales, profitability and CLV. 5. Data
siloed, lacks enterprise wide visibility. 6. Not
tracking dynamic changes in need and preference
over time. 7. Data collection uncoordinated. 8.
Limited or no front line feedback. 9. Typically large
amounts of data, low amounts of analytics. 10.
Limited frame for actionable insight, little to no
understanding of drivers of deep market impact nor
reasons why.
Jetstar starts to obtain, manage and turn
customer transaction data into actionable
insights through financial transactions
and social interactions via new social
channels. Jetstar maintain inventory of
data representing profile attributes
specified. Data may still be siloed.
Organization starts to develop standard
insight processes and basic assessment
across relevent analytics.

customer engagement.
A more holistic understanding of
customers’ needs, relative priority of
needs, baseline understanding of shifting
focus, device use, platform and payment
preferences, customer decision journey
and demand spaces are able to be
analysed, assessed and discussed.
Actionable insight has been generated
organisation wide. Processes are run
concurrently both centrally and via agile
border networks. Channel establishment
enables decision makers direct and
unfiltered information with which to
monitor shifts in customer engagement
patterns. Strategic direction may be
assessed in light of insight and analytics
that is richer in depth and breadth.
An analysis of performance against
KPIs, in conjunction with empowered
market analysis will enable decision
makers to ascertain the realtive
strengths and weaknesses of the
internet market strategy. A
comprehensive disection of cost,
impact and ROI will inform next steps.
At the 19 month junction a
simplification assessment is highly
recomended. This is in order to assess
the effect of added complexity that the
addition of multiple payment channels
has exerted on the companies supply
chain and if this has had a desirable
impact on customer investment.

Fintec: The term means “Financial Technology” describes an array of technologies that encompass poten2al disrup2on to the
financial, banking and insurance industries. This includes digital currencies, virtual currencies, crypto currencies, digital wallets, P2P,
Blockchain and Sidechain.
Blockchain/Block-chain/The Blockchain/Bitcoin (BC) Blockchain/Block chain: ‘Code’ that enables a public (permission less) ledger of
Bitcoin, an open source, distributed network that exists through the con2nual investment of “miners”. Miners are individual
computers (CPU’s) that operate in a con2nual race to unlock “hash” blocks of the encrypted Blockchain. In order for the ledger to
record current transac2ons correctly, this process is required to check back against prior transac2ons of bitcoin. Miners may be
individuals, companies, organised networks or Governments These ledgers may be private, permission (par2ally permissioned). As
ledgers they have a poten2al array of applica2ons.
Sidechain: A Sidechain is a smaller blockchain (some2mes simply referred to as ‘chain’) that operates off The Blockchain (BC
Blockchain) enabling faster real 2me transac2ons due to their smaller size (they require less CPU power) than The Blockchain. While
not required for this report, but to avoid confusion, a sidechain can also refer to a blockchain that has been created independently,
but is not aached to The Blockchain (BC Blockchain). Terminology in regards to this technology can be fragmented, this may be
due to maturity.
APPENDIX A
Glossary
39. 39
Bitcoin: Bitcoin is a crypto currency: loca2on dependent it may be referred to as ‘digital money’ or a ‘virtual’ currency. For this
report it can be thought of as a digital denominator of value exchange. It is the first crypto currency to be publically listed, but not
regarded as mainstream. Use, acceptance and defini2on vary: in some countries it has been banned (recently Russia) and in other
countries it has been defined as ‘property’ (for example, The United States of America). In Australia it is considered a compe2ng
currency. Part of Bitcoins value is in its ability to act as a portal between digital/crypto currencies and fiat (listed by governments
and/or banks) currencies.
API’s: Applica2on Program Interface. Tools, rou2ne defini2ons or programmes for building solware and applica2ons. For the sake of
this report, this term can be considered as the interface that links two opera2ng solware en22es in order to facilitate digital
communica2on.
‘Wrapped’ API’s: For this report consider the term ‘wrapped’ APIs as referring to a par2cularly secured and monitored API due to
the poten2al of open source vulnerabili2es, cost of risk and the value of the transac2onal data the API is interfacing.
APPENDIX A
Glossary
40. 40
Plarorm: A framework upon which applica2ons are run. A plarorm can define the way a user interacts with solware.
Digital Wallets: The mechanism (hardware and/or solware) that allows electronic commerce.
P2P: Peer to peer. P2P can be considered in the same way as B2B (business to business) or B2C (business to consumer).
P2P in this report refers to the prac2se of individuals u2lizing means to exchange value outside of regulatory awareness.
Crypto Currencies/Cryptocurrency : A subset of digital currencies. A medium of exchange that uses cryptography to regulate
genera2on of units, and/or to ensure independence from a central bank, or to control the permission levels of transparency.
Fiat Currency: Regulated by supply and demand, issued by a central authority, not exchangeable for a standard (for example, a Fiat
Currency is commonly known as the issued form of currency post the Gold Standard).
APPENDIX A
Glossary
41. 41
Digital Currencies and Virtual Currencies: It can be argued that in 2016 the vast majority of Fiat Currencies are digital.
According to the European Central Bank's October 2012 report on emerging currencies, and as technology and adop2on changes,
the line between a virtual currency and a digital currency is in the medium of interchange. If the ‘currency’ can be traded P2P and
exchanged in the real world for physical goods and services they tend toward digital currencies; if used only for virtual world
purchases in closed loop systems, then they are likely virtual currencies.
Customer Decision Journey: Customers ac2vely search for and gather informa2on to inform purchasing decisions. This process is
different from the tradi2onal sales funnel model. The funnel model is s2ll in use, but marketers now need to understand the
implica2ons of the customer (consumer) decision journey. This process involves four phases; considera2on, ac2ve evalua2on
(research), closure (purchase) and post purchase experience. This process is highly evident in desktop use by consumers, where the
average user starts with a search engine and migrates through phases before returning back to the search engine. It should be noted
that emerging research is indica2ng that smart device usage has changed this process again, as less consumers u2lize search engines
on mobile devices, choosing instead to use a funnel model by app selec2on, and usually one that represents a brand they have
already formed a rela2onship with.
Demand Spaces: All combina2ons of quan2ty demanded and price aributes that are acceptable to buyers. With loca2on tracking,
and meta-data, marketers are now able to track price, quan2ty demand, expenditure predictors, emo2on, 2me, circadian rhythms,
events, triggers and social influence to a greater degree of accuracy.

Threats to a Companies Survival
Threats, such as the price of avia2on fuel, terrorism, and global currency fluctua2ons, are numerous and constant. Costs to an
interna2onal carrier are large, the group posted a loss in 2014. The company competes almost exclusively on price. The company
must constantly strive to gain new customers in large numbers to maintain profitability. The company has also developed a
reputa2on of never running to 2me.

APPENDIX C
Recommended
The addi2on of digital currency payments will put Jetstar ahead of the curve in adop2on of cryptocurrencies and allow the company to offer a value
proposi2on to customers by reducing the number of steps taken between selec2on and purchase, and by increasing the number of available
mediums of exchange.
U2lizing Snapchat affords Jetstar the opportunity to engage with its market in ways unique to this plarorm. Snapchat adop2on is significantly
increasing, Jetstar does not currently u2lize Snapchat.
A further sugges2on of adding LinkedIn content as a means to engage the maturing millennial market is also explored.
Suppor2ng research and development of solar flights aligns Jetstar with its target markets values and promotes the company as one that shares a
vested interest in the sustainability of the des2na2ons it travels to. Advocacy of developments in this area, via Snapchat and exis2ng social media
plarorms, and content generated around the development digital payment op2ons provide a narra2ve that is rich, interes2ng and engaging.
§ For Facebook,Aquila is more than a proof of concept.It’s a linchpin of the company’s plan to bring the
internet to all 7 billion people on Earth,regardless of their income or where they live.Doing so will lift
millions of people out of poverty,Zuckerberg says,improving education and health globally along the
way.But it will also enable the next generation of Facebook’s services in artificial intelligence,virtual
reality,and more.This next era of tech will require higher bandwidth and more reliable connections than
we have today,and drones can help deliver both.The road to aVR version of Facebook begins where
Aquila leaves the runway.

As these recommenda2ons are adventurous in the case of 1, not heavily documented in
the case of 2, and emerging in the case of 3, it is recommended that a ‘test and evaluate’
strategy over the course of an 18 month 2me period is u2lized. The tes2ng ground will
be limited to certain areas of current opera2on. Evalua2ve criteria will cover a range of
key performance indicators and ini2ally set low to accommodate the poten2al lack of
market adop2on due to emerging technology. This strategy will also serve to create an
evalua2ve period with which to assess the strengths and weaknesses of emerging
technology providers.
The tes2ng areas are not recommended in this report, but if the KPI of 6.6 million in
sales is to be achieved the areas chosen by Jetstar would need to be capable of such
growth given recommenda2ons, and not already on a trajectory towards that level of
growth with current strategy.

The strategy recommended recognizes that 2014 figures indicate posi2ve growth against prior losses. However no en2ty
within the Qantas group can afford to rest in light of such fluctua2ons. The recommended strategy builds upon exis2ng
success in providing addi2onal customer focused investment in the group. While the need for efficiency is recognized, a
strategy of growth is assumed to be the best op2on to secure income against prior losses and to strengthen the brand
moving forward.
In 2013 Jetstar appointed Grianne Kearns as CIO for the group. In 2014 Kearns established that the strategic focus from an
Informa2on Systems (IS) perspec2ve would be review exis2ng technology in order to make a selec2on of new technology to
add “with a view to op2mizing and innova2ng around our service delivery”
She established cloud and mobility as two areas of strategic focus in order to increase both customer service and customer
experience, and to ensure internal produc2vity.

Overall, Qantas has adopted a partnership strategy which has yielded success with both Emirates and American Airlines. Their
frequent flyer program aims to increase customer loyalty, Qantas have indicated that they are seeking to expand upon their
exis2ng loyalty program through innova2on in order to increase assets and capabili2es.
This strategy is in alignment with parent company Qantas aiming to reduce its own costs by $2 billion since pos2ng a $252
million loss for the half-year Feb 2014.

The recommended internet marke2ng strategy is adventurous: it seeks to provide areas to ac2vely explore innova2on. While
Fintech may eventuate to be a “pure play” (typically 30% of an industry) disruptor, or even a megatrend (10 – 20 year cadence of
slow growth before changing an en2re industry), the sugges2ons around Fintech in this report represent a “sol” (easy addi2ons or
improvements to exis2ng use) innova2on.
Almost all airlines researched for this report support some form of member benefits reward scheme, all of which involve partnership
programmes where reward points can be redeemed at par2cipa2ng or complimentary businesses. Many offer Credit Cards with
member benefits aached.
Adop2on of crypto currencies may be seen as a risky penetra2on into unknown territory. Upon cri2cal reflec2on however, they
represent a “sol” transi2on into a form of exchange that adds more value to both Jetstar and their market – they offer more u2lity
benefits than current reward and member benefit schemes. The logic becomes apparent when one looks at this currency in light of
the benefits and restric2ons that currently u2lized reward schemes represent “in market.”
While Bitcoin trades against fiat currencies publically (with Ether and Litecoin entering presently), crypto currencies have the ability
to trade anonymously online. Online exchanges/wallets allow non-publically traded (think: “off exchange” or “over the counter” in
financial trading terms) crypto currencies to buy and exchange Bitcoin. Thinking of Bitcoin in the same way as a fiat currency is
simply the wrong way to assess its u2lity, part of Bitcoins value is its ability to act as a portal between currencies, while u2lizing it
for buying and selling online.
AUTHORS THOUGHTS

Necessity is said to be the driver of innova2on, but innova2on is facing a perfect storm from changing millennial aotudes to authority, the
incumbent Prussian Educa2on system, and social norming in the vast majority of workplaces.
Den Heyer, CJ. (2016). internal circula2on report in support of Mid-Market Pain Points: The increasing requirement for recognising the inhibitors
of innova2on in a study of over 35,000 global SME’s; 1970 to 2015. Wellington: Deloie Knowledge Management.
The Qantas Group is commied to innova2on however and maintains a compe22ve advantage over a number of routes, stable governance, and
reduc2on in some areas of eco-efficiency and strong rela2onships with cri2cal stakeholders.
Year end June 14/15 the company celebrated record level customer sa2sfac2on and all targets for scheduled programs were achieved.
The difficult task of consistent growth out of the 13/14 slump now faces the group as the 14/15 June YE repor2ng date rapidly approaches
(June 2016). Environmental sustainability and taxable emissions prove to be driving mo2vators for the group moving forward.
Significantly, the group enjoyed a record second half performance returning cost of capital. Shareholders return across public ownership was
listed prior to the October 2015 AGM as 23 cents which equated a direct return of company value at the 2me of the report. This indicates that
the company has regained some loss but is not yet in a healthy posi2on.

In highly commodi2zed price compe22ve market, low price
posi2oning indicates wide customer focus. In 2015,
approximately 1.75 million passengers flew though Jetstar
domes2c New Zealand, 70% of which were fares of $100 or
less, the vast majority via promo2on online (Anthony, 2016).
CUSTOMER
Jetstar’s main compe2tor in Australasia and Asia is Virgin Airways.
However, they compete across the lower and medium price spectrum
with parent company Qantas and Air New Zealand through
Australasia.
With driverless electric cars, and current mobile internet connec2vity
stable across most areas on New Zealand and Australia it is
conceivable that the market may move to road travel again.

Upon closer analysis none of this indicates that the company is in a healthy posi2on.
These numbers do not indicate a percentage of profit, nor indicate the number that were
sold for under $40. Jetstar segment on price, currently this is their last remaining value
proposi2on. This places the company in a difficult posi2on.
According to research conducted by strategists Michael Raynor and Mumtaz Ahmed
successful businesses rarely competed on price (Ahmed, 2013).
HBS professor Ni2n Nohria concluded that successful organiza2ons (winners) excelled at
a combina2on of 4 core aributes (strategy, execu2on, culture and structure) and
accelerated with a combina2on of a further 2 aributes from talent, leadership, M&A

MIDDLE IMAGE: The V-2 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, "Retribu8on Weapon 2"), technical name Aggregat-4 (A-4), was
the world's first long-range guided ballis8c missile. The missile with a liquid-propellant rocket engine was developed
during the Second World War in Germany as a "vengeance weapon," designed to adack Allied ci8es as retalia8on for the
Allied bombings against German ci8es. The V-2 rocket also became the first ar8ficial object to cross the boundary of
space with the ver8cal launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944.
Beginning in September 1944, over 3,000 V-2s were launched by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets during
the war, first London and later Antwerp and Liège. According to a 2011 BBC documentary, the adacks resulted in the
deaths of an es8mated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, while 12,000 forced labourers and concentra8on camp
prisoners died producing the weapons.
As Germany collapsed, teams from the Allied forces—the United States Of America, the United Kingdom, and the Union
Of Soviet Socialist Republics—raced to capture key German manufacturing sites, guided missiles, rockets and jet powered
aircra<. Wernher von Braun and over 100 key V-2 personnel surrendered to the Americans. Through a lengthy sequence
of events, a significant por8on of the original V-2 team ended up working for the US Army at the Redstone Arsenal. The
US also captured enough
V-2 hardware to build approximately 80 of the missiles. The Soviets gained possession of the V-2 manufacturing
facili8es a<er the war and proceeded to re-establish V-2 produc8on and move it to the Soviet Union. The American
team later became known as NASA.
MIDDLE RIGHT IMAGE: August 15th, 1947. Westcod, Buckinghamshire. This department,
operated by the Ministry Of Supply, was the central experimental establishment for all
applica8ons of rocket propulsion a<er the end of the war. The staff, among whom were 12
German scien8sts, was led by Dr. J. Schmidt (later killed in an explosion). Photos above show all
types of captured war equipment; the V-2 being the Science Museum example. Many of the
other missiles in the photos are now seen at Cosford.

Forman and Jack Parsons: Rocket Boys, or Suicide Club? In the late 1930s, a group of Caltech
graduate students were booted off campus a<er blowing up (part of!) their building during a
rocket test gone awry. Unwilling to give up on the joy of semi-controlled explosions, the students
and a few of their friends headed into the San Gabriel Mountains. They picked a deserted gully —
Arroyo Seco — and got tes8ng. This was about when their classmates star8ng calling the
gathering the Suicide Club. This group is responsible for early research on guided missiles.

Marketing Objectives
The provision of digital currency payments in Jetstar’s exis2ng app will allow for exis2ng
digital wallets to allocate Jetstar as a payee. In this way, Jetstar can build upon technology
pragma2cally, and at a reduced cost.
A ‘Wrapped API’ is recommended for addi2on to exis2ng digital wallets to reduce risk.
Sidechains operate off the exis2ng bitcoin public ledger block chain; as this is open source, the
addi2onal expenditure on wrapping is recommended to secure against malware and other
threats inherent in some open source applica2ons involving financial transac2ons.
Measurement of key results can be seen in the direct transac2on history. The point of
purchase data can be aligned with the selec2on data gathered by the group on their exis2ng
websites and smart device apps. By establishing their own plarorms over 2me, the group will
enjoy a significant reduc2on in bank and merchant fees. Data gathered directly from
customers at the point of purchase will enable the group to make beer decisions in regard to
the customer decision journey, collec2on and analysis of metadata will enable a deeper
understanding of demand spaces. If fully adopted, the group may look at providing its own
currency as a medium of exchange, further accelera2ng group gains.
It is expected that even if digital currency is not adopted by the group as a form of direct
payment, it may be assessed for viability as a vehicle to aid the group’s Frequent Flier
program.

CROSSOVER
Authors ThoughtsIt should be noted that there is much crossover between Millennials, The Leisure Segment, Business Travellers,
Snapchat Users and market engagement gained through LinkedIn users. It was deemed too complex to explore
these rela2onships.
Aler significant studies into SME’s, I found that tradi2onal ideas around how to segment business size have been
disrupted by digital. Prior, segmenta2on of Small to Medium might be in a combina2on of income and employee
size. Now, an internet based opera2on may need less than 5 employees, turnover 5 – 10 million per annum, and
not require anything more than what is supplied via a website.
Digital has therefore removed the need for the tradi2onal Value Chain such as Porters (and in my opinion, made his
brilliant framework obsolete for large percentages of the market).
Without exploring in conten2ous detail it appears evident in regards to digital and market segmenta2on that digital
has also disrupted tradi2onal forms of market segmenta2on. Markets referred to by marketers are en2rely different
from markets referred to by those who specialise in digital. An example of such is the difference between digital
na2ves and Millennials, and Millennials and Gen X ers. Digital na2ves sit on either side of this, depending on what
era of marke2ng you were educated in, and what era of digital you are referring to, and which country the study of
Millennials was produced by. Furthermore, the rapid speed at which digital is advancing means that genera2onal
differences, which are now being defined by exposure to digital, is defining the aributes that segmenta2on relies
on. A genera2onal indicator of 20 years is becoming less helpful as a means to ensure more efficient market
segmenta2on.

The ability for Jetstar to promote at a point of sale affords advantage in the poten2al of
increased sales, while accommoda2ng exposure to wider markets. Alipay dominates the Asian
market with 400,000,000 registered users.

Addi2on to both Google Wallet, with a strategic focus on Apple Pay will increase likelihood of

Boden, R. (2016, March). Apple Pay tops US merchant mobile wallet requests. NFCWorld.
Author of this report would like to note the following:
In March, 2016 I undertook extensive studies in mobile wallet applica2ons, on behalf of
Victoria University of Wellington as a tutor, 3 large clients in Wellington, and a New York
based consultancy group specializing in digital wallet payments. While checking my original
March metrics, for this report, on Alipay (800,000,000 registered users, over 171,000,000
global transac2ons daily, March 2016) and Google Wallet (20 million downloads as of 2014,
March 2016) I went back to the same sources referenced above. Alipay had since halved their
number of registered users and removed the global transac2ons metric. Google Wallet have
removed their download metric and removed a 15% 1 star ra2ng metric that was also
associated with the resource.
As a researcher I witness these anomalies on a daily basis. It was simply worth no2ng, in this
instance I had the feeling that these changes were made as reac2ons to changes in
marketplace dynamics. I have yet to prove the reasons I suspect, and felt it too laborious to
pursue for this report.

One addi2on to Jetstar's exis2ng mix of web channels is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is growing
and represents new markets. Content on LinkedIn represents an opportunity to
present a slightly altered narra2ve for the company. It will require a firmer business
and analysis focus than the website and a move away from the internally focused
advertorial voice of the Jetstar blog. Moving into LinkedIn will allow the group to
con2nue to communicate with the maturing millennial market.
It should be noted that Snapchat has recorded high levels of millennial engagement,
but the focus on LinkedIn in regards to millennials in the recommended strategy has
been in an2cipa2on of maturing social media habits over 2me. It is plausible that a
social media plarorm may emerge between 2016 and 2030 that is more appealing to
millennials and that takes aspects of both (Snapchat and LinkedIn) plarorms as a
segmenta2on value proposi2on, in which case it would be recommended that Jetstar
look into adop2on of such an emerging plarorm.
The following chart indicates what is suggested based on exis2ng usage. Facebook
has been omied as the Facebook plarorm carries user func2onality across all
Exis2ng Channel Migra2on criteria and remains the market leader.
The following matrix provides a pragma2c illustra2on of how the addi2on of the
recommended strategy can be integrated into, and take exis2ng informa2on from,
current and recommended channels. It is not meant as a “playbook,” rather as a quick
view of how the recommended strategy is modular and how it seeks to enhance the

Strategy More People More Places More Often
Digital Currencies and Wallets Reduction of payment friction,
increase in currency options for
customer, spend data gathered to
inform future strategy, exposure to
larger markets. There is a value
proposition gained through ease of
payment.
Adoption of digital wallets is
increasing globally, more people are
purchasing via mobile apps,
purchase dependent on less factors
(ie, internet connection, device,
disposable funds only).
Reduction of time to purchase
increases likelihood of buying “on a
whim.”
Future state likely: The technology
required for widespread adoption of
cryptocurrencies and digital wallets
accelerates process automation. All
current industries and market
segments will experience disruption.
It remains to be seen if process

reductions in consumer spending
due to increased unemployment.

Snapchat: Photo and video may

Experiences of peers may increase
FOMO (fear of missing out).
LinkedIn: Promotion of wider issues
in destinations may increase travel
frequency if content promotes
motivation other than leisure for
travel (such as volunteer work
abroad).
Support of Solar Millennials and emerging markets
attach personal values to
environmental sustainability. In turn,
Jetstar may enjoy increased brand
equity through trust and loyalty.
Covering solar, green energy and
advances in electric transportation
provides a more expansive narrative
with which to introduce the appeal
of destinations to new and existing
travellers
Current: Investment in green energy
may inspire increased travel as
proceeds generated contribute
towards a sustainable cause.
Future state plausible: Advances in
battery cell technology may
accommodate a hybrid electric/fuel
jet engine; reduced costs could
influence pricing strategy.
Future state speculative: Solar
flights may become a commercial

NOTES: Place and
Promotion Strategy
* The ‘snapchat’ area is a tool that enables an experien2al exchange of
emo2on. Real-2me photos and short videos, with accompanying text
and sound, serve as the closest approxima2on to a shared experience
as two or more people can share without being in physical proximity as
one another. When executed perfectly between sender and receiver,
the sender is able to send a combina2on of words, video, sta2c image
and/or sound that is intended by the sender to be received and
experienced within the moment that the sender is experiencing it.
If the receiver does not respond within the 2me frame expected by
the sender, or the receiver does not reciprocate in an emo2onal level
that matches that of the sender or is in kind of the sender, then the
receiver is likely to receive less correspondence from the sender.

RASK/RASM (Revenue in cents received for
available seat per kilometre/mile) has also been
avoided. It is noted that RASK is generally falling,
however, without being able to predict the parallel
price of oil over the next 15 years it is difficult to
establish if the current reduc2on in airline pricing
direct to market is one that should con2nue to be
expected.

China led the ancient world by introducing shells as a medium of exchange and unit of
account in commerce. Like many of their counterparts, the Chinese at the end of the
neolithic age used shells as money. Shells were durable, easy to carry and count so they
were used as a universal equivalent. The unit is peng, which has evolved to mean "friend“.
Shell Rings, Bakiha, New Georgia, Solomon Islands.
Carved clam shell. A group of ancient clam shell
money rings. Carved from a sec8on of giant clam shell
the outer surface calcified from 8me spent in the
elements. Used as a tradi8onal form of currency.

Barter: Chickens for Subscrip8ons Barter is a system of exchange where goods or
services are directly exchanged for other goods or
services without using a medium of exchange,
such as money. It is dis8nguishable from gi<
economies in many ways; one of them is that the
reciprocal exchange is immediate and not delayed
in 8me. It is usually bilateral, but may be
mul8lateral (i.e., mediated through barter
organiza8ons) and, in most developed countries,
usually only exists parallel to monetary systems to
a very limited extent. Barter, as a replacement for
money as the method of exchange, is used in
8mes of monetary crisis, such as when the
currency may be either unstable (e.g.,
hyperinfla8on or defla8onary spiral) or simply
unavailable for conduc8ng commerce.

Evaluation and Control
Engagement KPI’s
3. It is likely that The Qantas Group has current benchmark metrics, but
highly unlikely that they are publically available. Industry benchmarks
can be established easily.
4. Automated Search KPIs related to Search Engine assessment are also
provided. This is an emerging criteria for evalua2on and control.
Findings of this report from prior client engagements have indicated
excep2onal results in monitoring these metrics and adjus2ng web
content to accommodate.
While beyond the scope of this report, a simplicity assessment is
recommended in the 19 month juncture of the recommended strategy.
This is recommended in order to establish a balance between the
addi2onal strategy recommended, and ensuring the ability of Jetstar to
maintain core strategic impera2ves. Overall it is recommended in order
to assess the impact that added channels are having on the customer
decision journey.

unit for the USA in 1785. The Coinage Act of 1792 helped put together an organised monetary system that introduced coinage in gold, silver, and copper. Paper notes or
