The Moodies 2020 winners revealed: Recognising the best in airport & travel retail digital, social media & marketing

News news

 

INTERNATIONAL. The Moodie Davitt Report is proud to reveal the winners of The Moodies — the airport and travel retail digital, social media & marketing awards — for 2020.

The winners are being announced today through The Moodie Davitt Report website and across our various social media platforms.

The awards, now in their seventh year, recognise best practices in social, digital media & marketing among the airport and wider travel retail community.

The winners were drawn from a shortlist of 142 entries from 23 different categories, generated via a mix of self-nomination or nomination by independent parties. The Moodies cover digital, mobile, social media and marketing activities across airports overall, plus airport retail and food & beverage.

Commenting on the winners, The Moodie Davitt Report Founder and Chairman Martin Moodie said: “At a time of such turmoil in the aviation and tourism sectors, how refreshing it is to celebrate the immense creativity, energy and professionalism of our industry. We’re thrilled to recognise — and to be associated with — such an outstanding line-up of winners.”

The Moodies 2020 winners will be featured in a dedicated workshop during the inaugural Moodie Davitt Virtual Travel Retail Expo.

As reported, travel retail’s first-ever Virtual Expo, which also features a Symposium led by some of the industry’s key thought leaders, takes place with a live event with a 30-day follow-up showcase. Exhibitor bookings and buyer/retailer interest are now rising fast, with brand and service companies taking advantage of highly preferential ‘Early Bird’ rates before 1 June.

The Moodies 2020 – Winners List

Special Judge’s Award for Inspiration in Crisis

The judges singled out this video from Qatar Airways for its poignant conveying of a simple-sounding yet hugely complex mission to get people home to their loved ones during the COVID-19 crisis.

Qatar Airways has played an inspirational, arguably unrivalled, leadership role throughout the COVID-19 crisis, one beautifully personified by a cabin crew member interviewed in this heartwarming film. She says simply, “We will bring you home.”

Qatar Airways prefaces the film by saying: “We are so proud of Qatar Airways’ cabin crew who are continuing to serve in the midst of this challenging time, just knowing that it will make a difference to somebody out there.”

Special Judge’s Award for Creativity in Crisis

The judges singled out the Dubai Duty Free Nightingales, singing Josh Groban’s ‘You Raise Me Up’ from their homes while in lockdown.

Final Judging Criteria

The judges were looking for clear objectives, creative and effective implementation and tangible and demonstrable results in the campaign award categories.

Each entry was judged under the following headings:

  • Total budget & objectives
  • Target audience & strategy
  • Implementation & creativity
  • Results & evaluation

Additional criteria:

Quantifiable impact
Judges used quantifiable yardsticks to measure the impact of each nomination. For instance, nominated Facebook pages were rated by the number of ‘likes’ and ‘check ins’; YouTube presence was rated by the number of ‘views’; and the number of ‘followers’ generated by a Twitter account was noted. For airports, annual traffic was taken into account when assessing the number of ‘likes’, ‘views’ or ‘followers’ their social media presence generates.

Customer engagement
Many companies are present in social media, but often they fail to update that presence or use it to create a meaningful relationship with their customers. Our judges rated nominations according to how well companies engaged with their customers through digital and social media, the level of interaction they achieved, and the quality of the conversation they generated.

Visual appeal
Visual quality and impact is critical across all categories, our judges were looking for creativity, quality of imagery and excellence in execution.

Quality of content
The ways in which companies use digital and social media vary considerably. Our judges focussed on originality and breadth of content, and on the methods employed to win the traveller’s attention. Extra merit was earned by companies that did more than merely sell a product or service but used new media to create excitement and interest in the location in which they operate.

Incentive to spend
Our judges were looking at how airports and operators are using digital and social media to win spend from travellers? And how they ensure that those travellers become loyal customers?

Impact on the traveller experience
Today most travellers use mobile devices when they travel. The Moodie Davitt Digital Awards examined how airports and retailers have tapped into the SoLoMo – Social, Local and Mobile – trend to make their customers’ experience easier and more enjoyable, whether through practical information, gift incentives or other initiatives.

The criteria by which finalists were judged fell under six broad headings, making up the Moodie 100 scoring system, as follows:

QUANTIFIABLE IMPACT

Here, judges used quantifiable yardsticks to measure the impact of each nomination. For instance, nominated Facebook pages were rated by the number of ‘likes’ and ‘check ins’; YouTube presence was rated by the number of ‘views’; while the number of followers generated by a Twitter account was noted. For airports, annual traffic was taken into account when assessing the number of ‘likes’, ‘views’ or ‘followers’ their social media presence generates.

CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT

Many companies are present in social media, but too often they fail to update that presence or use it to create a meaningful relationship with their customers. Our judges rated nominations according to how well companies engage their customers through digital and social media, to the level of interaction they achieve, and to the quality of the conversation they are able to generate.

VISUAL APPEAL

Visual quality and impact is critical across all categories, and especially so for the crucial On-Airport, In-Store Digital Media category. Our judges looked for quality of imagery, creativity and excellence in execution.

QUALITY OF CONTENT

The ways in which companies use digital and social media diverge considerably. Our judges focused on originality and breadth of content and on methods employed to win the traveller’s attention. Extra merit was earned by those companies aiming to do more than merely sell a product or service, but that use new media to create excitement and interest in the location in which they operate.

INCENTIVE TO SPEND

How are airports and travel retailers/restaurateurs using digital and social media to win spend from travellers? And how are they then ensuring those travellers become loyal customers? Our judges looked in detail at the methods deployed to encourage spend and their effectiveness.

IMPACT ON THE TRAVELLER EXPERIENCE

Today, most travellers use mobile devices when they travel. The judges looked at how airports and travel retailers have tapped into the SoLoMo trend to make their customers’ experience easier and more enjoyable, whether through practical information, gift incentives or other initiatives.
