1. Optimizing our online presence to support the Brand Presented by Garfield M. Harry DELTA & SOCIAL NETWORKS

3. INTRODUCTION 10/28/11 The Social Media landscape is constantly evolving fueled by people’s need to connect. Delta Air Lines is tapping into the power of that ever-changing medium to build connections with our passengers. Customer Service guru, Scott Deming suggests the best way to create an unexpected experience is to develop a relationship with our passengers, which begins with a connection. The next generation of travelers, HVCs and economy passengers alike speak the digital language of the social networks. This is our chance to engage them and separate our brand from the crowd through an unexpected experience. I believe the best way to accomplish this is to focus our online efforts to help make Delta.com the “Trusted Friend”, the “Go To” destination for our customers. This presentation is just one idea.

5. DELTA AIRLINES ONLINE 10/28/11 The previous slide shows a social media landscape that is constantly changing. What is relevant today could be obsolete tomorrow, much like the case of Myspace which had a very strong start and slipped into virtual obscurity. Such a fluid medium requires any company that is serious about connecting with consumers to be everywhere. Instead of finding our audience we have to enable our audience to find us. Delta is doing just that with a robust presence on Facebook, several Twitter accounts, Youtube and an informational blog . These online efforts, however, can be optimized by developing a single point of entry, allowing the user to select the best path thus reducing the time spent on various search engines and increasing the time on our primary site, Delta.com.

6. CURRENT ONLINE USER FLOW 10/28/11 Facebook Twitter D eltaNewsroom Delta Assist Blog Youtube Delta.com Most of our online properties can be accessed directly via Delta.com. Youtube, DeltaNewsroom and DeltaAssist on Twitter are linked indirectly through the blog page. All sites link back directly to Delta.com except for Youtube which links back to the blog page. There is limited linking between the sites and therefore potentially limited awareness. This could create some confusion especially on Twitter where we have three separate profiles providing different consumer functions. User

7. CENTRALIZED ONLINE USER FLOW 10/28/11 Facebook Twitter D eltaNewsroom Delta Assist Blog Youtube Delta.com Adding a ”Social Media” page on Delta.com to serve as a single access point for all of Delta’s online properties would raise awareness of the other sites increasing traffic and activity. In effect we would be creating a Delta portal for all of Delta’s social network initiatives. As the section evolves and as users become more familiar with the content, this section could grow to become the main online point of contact for all of Delta’s connections to our consumers, online and mobile. Centralizing our efforts is only the first step if we want the Delta.com to become a “trusted friend.” Providing relevant information like destination reviews which we already have on Youtube as well as the recommendations on the blog site and city/station facts posted by local employees all will help to establish trust. With the right investment we have an opportunity to grow Delta.com into a travel portal to rival Tripadvisor and similar sites, making Delta the first name people think of when they think travel.

9. CONCLUSION 10/28/11 As we grow the brand after a successful merger to become the largest global carrier, steps were taken to ensure we were not only building a bigger airline but a better airline. Steps that may not always be apparent. We have so much relevant and valuable content online that can be easily overlooked. Content that can be used to raise brand awareness, provide valuable passenger information, elicit consumer feedback and build connections. We should bring these elements together and into the light so that our customers understand what we mean by “Keep Climbing.”
