Virgin Atlantic's Data Strategy - Unifying Customer Touchpoints & Removing Data Silos

The British long-haul carrier is using data to personalize journeys, strengthen customer relationships, and drive long-term engagement.

Virgin Atlantic's strategy is built on creating meaningful customer and people journeys that differentiate VAA while extending their reach and relevance through data, digitalization, and brand power growth.

Achieving this means having a technology stack that streamlines processes, bridges data sources, removes data silos, and allows them to build a holistic view of customers across all touchpoints.

Web analytics is key, with the right choice giving them a better understanding of relationships and past behavior. By leveraging this data, they can offer tailored rewards and incentives that resonate with their customers, ultimately driving loyalty and engagement.

With real-time insights at their fingertips, VAA can swiftly adapt to shifting customer behaviors, optimize marketing efforts, and refine strategies. This agility ensures that every interaction is informed by data, making each touchpoint more relevant and impactful.

Customizable Event Setup & 1:1 Integration Support

Virgin Atlantic gains full visibility into customer interactions with tailored event tracking, seamless tool integration, and expert support, ensuring deeper insights and more effective optimization.

Modern eCommerce analytics and custom event tracking enable businesses to track granular website actions. However, activating all the necessary events can present technical challenges that limit behavior insights.

With TWIPLA, Virgin Atlantic is now tracking all events essential for their global operations. From travel dates and routes to seat bookings, luggage demands, and checkout failures, they have the real time data needed to optimize customer journeys and reduce friction at every touchpoint.

They can also leverage every analytics tool they need in one place, including heatmaps for page optimization, funnels for improving conversion pathways, and session recordings for understanding visitor behavior. Since they’re all integrated into a single platform, this enables the tools to cross-pollinate and provide deeper insights than they were getting previously.

Crucially, TWIPLA’s reports can also be filtered by traffic sources such as channels, referrers and campaigns. Together with multi-level filter templates and visitor segmentation functionality, Virgin Atlantic are now able to analyze the different segments of their global audience like never before.

As an enterprise client, they also received comprehensive integration support – this enabled Virgin Atlantic to quickly activate key insights and streamline their data analysis, leading to more effective optimization of their digital presence.

Advanced Analytics of Bookings & On-Site Behavior

Virgin Atlantic leverages advanced analytics to track customer journeys, optimize website performance, and increase conversion rates across its diverse travel services.

Virgin Atlantic's booking process relies heavily on their website. However, the variety of services offered - including hotels, car rentals, holidays, reward schemes, and various flight routes and connections - presents optimization challenges that are unique to the travel industry.

With TWIPLA, they can now track all these different customer journeys in real time. They receive comprehensive traffic and web performance metrics, can set up unlimited conversion funnels, and are able to watch integrated session recordings of dropouts.

Crucially, Virgin Atlantic can access every website analytics tool in a single platform. This eliminates data silos and maximizes data utility, enabling them to enhance UX, streamline online journeys, and improve conversions across all their offerings.

Quadrupled (!) Traffic Visibility & Dynamic Privacy for Today's Global Travel Market

Virgin Atlantic achieves full traffic visibility and robust compliance across global markets with TWIPLA’s dynamic privacy controls, cookieless tracking, and consentless analytics.

As a UK airline with a global presence, Virgin Atlantic's analytics must respond to a complex web of privacy regulations, as regional laws impose different thresholds on how data can be collected, stored, and used.

TWIPLA effectively addresses these challenges and is ideal for cross-border operations. Our platform meets privacy-by-design standards, and data capture can be customized on a country-by-country basis to optimize and maximize data capture while adhering to regional legal limits.

In Maximum Privacy Mode, advanced cookieless and consentless tracking enables VAA to leverage analytics legitimately across all global juristictions without visitor consent (allowing users to reveal 100% of their traffic in the first place).

This has given them the option to remove their cookie banner - on their main website as well as across all the satellite domains they control.

Additionally, there are three lower-threshold modes that allow for increased data collection, which also utilize cookieless technology but require consent.

In parallel, TWIPLA’s innovative dual tracking code system allows clients to legally collect data on users who reject tracking cookies. This ensures that TWIPLA provides insights on every visitor, and VAA has experienced a four-fold increase in recorded site visitors since adopting our platform.

Designed to Meet the Needs of Large Teams

Virgin Atlantic empowers its teams with intuitive, customizable dashboards that streamline collaboration, enhance data accessibility, and drive smarter decision-making.

Virgin Atlantic has a significant number of employees invested in their online performance, making ease of collaboration a key reason for choosing TWIPLA.

Staff can create custom dashboards tailored to their specific tasks, which can also be shared in a controlled manner that restricts access to sensitive data among departments or individuals.

Simplicity was also a factor.

TWIPLA is highly intuitive, even for people new to analytics. Visualizations bring data to life, the report blocks are easy to understand, and the filtering system - in eCommerce Statistics and beyond - allows clients to quickly pull up the data they're interested in.

Taken together with the huge increase in data capture they have experienced, VAA are now measuring their marketing efforts much more accurately. This is driving better decision-making and has ultimately enhanced the overall success of their digital strategies.
