STA Travel win ‘best use of social media’ in Travolution Awards

By Molly Flatt

We’re delighted to announce that our longstanding client STA Travel has been awarded ‘best use of social media’ at the Travolution Awards 2009.

Up against such competition as ‘Best Job in the World’ by Tourism Queensland and Tripadvisor Facebook apps, the judges -a committee of senior people involved in the online travel industry across operator, supplier and agency websites, search engines and technology companies – praised STA Travel for their particularly comprehensive, integrated and customer-led approach:

“Once again, STA Travel is a leading light in this area, ensuring that it engages people in as many of the relevant channels to its target audience as possible. Most importantly, customers engage with one another AND the brand.”

They couldn’t have put it better. We’ve been working with STA Travel for almost 2 years now to both help establish their brand voice in social media but also encourage lasting peer to peer advocacy with our STA Travelbuzz and STA Explorers initiatives. Last year the 1000heads/STA Travel team won the WOM UK/WARC Word of Mouth Marketing Awards for Best Targeting, so it’s great to now get acknowledgement from the travel industry too.

If you want to find out more about how we could do the same for you, lets go and get a cup of tea.
