Alaska Airlines

Swell Deals


We helped Alaska Airlines fly smarter with data.

Idea

The bigger the waves, the lower the fares.


In partnership with Surfline, the most prominent surf forecasting site, we funneled live data from surf buoys into e-comm and our digital ads to trigger lower fares to Hawaii.

Challenge

Increase sales for West Coast routes to Hawaii in a category where Alaska is outspent -  and fare sale messaging is homogenous.

Insight

More than 1M surfers in California follow wave reports every day. And surfers are willing to drop everything to catch a great wave.
