• Building a presence of MAS brand driven by our
fans within social media ecosystem
• Leveraging on the nature of social media through its
word-of-mouth capability
• Creating additional direct distribution channel that
can complement our existing channels eg. Internet,
Call Centre, Ticket Office
Why we pursue this idea?

• We determine our solid end goals – to enable our fans to plan, book and check in for their flights
• We set simple expectations – they may get together, hook up and share their travel plans
• We master one thing at a time – we enhance our mobile booking engine by adding social capability
• We make it as part of our routine – constantly adding loyalty campaign to sustain the interest
• We make our efforts continuous – plan a continuous campaign to the traffic to the apps
How do we make this work?

• Own your end goals, be ready to improvise from time to
time.
• Be brave to try new things. There’s ROI but it requires
focused effort.
• Know your market potential, don’t be a Jack of All Trades
and Master of None.
