Hello Everyone
This week we continue our focus on innovation within TR and feature an in-depth interview with Alan Brennan, Managing Director of the newly-formed dcGTR, with coverage of the company’s breakthrough approach – leveraging new tech to better understand today’s travellers.
The subject is closely aligned with trunblocked’s own thinking – where the aim is to get industry stakeholders to have greater courage to embrace change and associated new thinking, and where technology can be harnessed to better maximise commercial revenues.
Separately, am very pleased to report that in the last 7 days the trunblocked.com weekly blog recorded the highest ever number of views from our Linkedin data and, according to Google Analytics, reached 85 countries, with an average session duration of 1′ 38”. A big thanks to all our readers.
If you are interested in communicating in a different way with the airport and travel retail business, do get in contact: info@trunblocked.com or trunblocked@gmail.com
Have a great Easter break!
