SUMMARY
Acela vs. the airlines. Our job? To maintain share. No small task considering flying is faster, often less expensive and offers increasingly similar amenities. What 's more, in 2011, the airlines outspent Acela on marketing by 2,275% (not a typo). But fliers were feeling increasingly marginalized, so we gave them a message of empowerment. Our Rights campaign ran in media spaces in and around airports. Awareness climbed 12% and Acela actually stole ridership at double our goal as well as bringing in revenue at 1.5 times our goal.
