Strategy

5W supported AirHelp's entrance into the U.S., by building out Airhelp's data and thought leadership capabilities, providing counsel, ideas and strategy to bring conversations that effected travel consumers and public policy into the mainstream media spotlight. 5W accomplished these feats by becoming the exclusive 'team' on the ground in the U.S. for Airhelp, while running all communications through the Berlin office.

5W, working hand-in-hand with the AirHelp HQ team, supported global initiatives while also spearheading U.S. specific programs in order to establish AirHelp as a leading voice in air travel. The team worked to consistently disseminate key messaging about the business to consumers and industry influencers by tapping into data, industry news, and evergreen lifestyle narratives.
