Business Challenge

Their setup included Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, and Adobe Audience Manager, but they lacked a unified customer view and real-time activation. Challenges: ❌ No single view of traveler across web & app ❌ Personalization was rule-based, not behavior-driven ❌ Retargeting campaigns were generic ❌ High drop-offs in booking funnel ❌ No real-time decisioning Result: They had Adobe tools — but no connected experience strategy What We Found After a full Adobe ecosystem audit: - 52% of users dropped off between search → booking - No real-time personalization based on traveler behavior - Audience segments were static and outdated - No integration between Adobe tools for real-time activation Insight: They were collecting data but not activating it
