Why CX Is the Key for Travel Brands Looking To Stand Out
The travel industry has grown rapidly, with more people traveling than before. Global travel and tourism revenue hit $916 billion in 2024 — and it’s only going up from here. The market is projected to grow by 4% annually, reaching $1.11 trillion by 2029. As travel surges and competition heats up, the customer experience (CX) has emerged as the most effective way for travel businesses to acquire and keep guests. While consumers are eager to travel, new pain points can easily get in the way of their excitement. Delays in flights, for instance, increased for most major U.S. airlines in the first half of 2024, with over 20% of flights delayed in August for 9 out of 10 carriers. Issues like these are becoming increasingly common in this current era of travel, and they can ruin brands’ chances to win and secure consumers — especially considering the rise of “JOMO”

How Music Affects Emotions (and Sales)
“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” That’s a famous quote from Victor Hugo, and he’s got a point there. We all know that music influences our mood because we’ve experienced it for ourselves. We know that when we listen to certain types of music, we can be overcome by feelings of joy, sadness, elation, excitement, anger and so on. In a way, all music is mood music because it subtly influences the way that we feel without the need for any effort on our part. It just goes in through our ears and does what it likes in our heads! Over time, we establish an emotional connection with some types of music more than others, and it’s these that we’ll return to when we want to evoke or amplify a particular emotion.

Hyper-Personalisation in Marketing: The Next Frontier Is Here
