become more modern, refreshing and innovative
• Use digital and social media to connect and engage consumers with
the new and evolving direction of the airline in a meaningful way
• Use several pivotal moments in American's history to change the

4. Strategies
405/09/13
1. Leverage several major transformational announcements and sponsorships in 2013 to
effectively communicate, engage and bring consumers into American's transformation
using Social Media
2. We built major individual social campaigns around American’s rebranding launch, the
merger announcement with US Airways, and American's sponsorship of SXSW 2013,
but positioned them all under the #newAmerican flag at a macro/ongoing level as an
overall campaign, designed to demonstrate and drive conversation around the
transformation of the brand.
3. The Social Media strategy was deeply integrated into the larger business strategy for
each of these events and the larger transformational campaign, across Customer
Relations, traditional PR, Marketing, Sales, Loyalty, etc.
