Quality Hunters 2: In conjunction with Helsinki airport, the carrier recruited “real people” via social channels to help evaluate the airline and offer suggestions on how to improve service. The effort reached more than 15 million people, one of the travel industry’s largest crowdsourcing campaigns.
Why It’s a Winner: While they could have just as easily relied on suit-and-tie executives to decide what everyone else might want, Finnair used actual passengers—sourced through their social channels—to find ways to improve their service.
