Name: Amiy Chatley, Digital Analytics Manager for Marketing

Title: The www. of working at TUI – Where, Why, What

Bio:

I have been working at TUI now for just shy of 5 years, with an 11-month gap in the middle working outside of the business in the FinTech sector. TUI offered me the chance to explore what Analytics can review in the Marketing space, really push the boundaries that are usually restricted when you work agency side. Coming original from the agency world, TUI represented a great business model with a huge contingent of other analysts. In fact, we now number over 90!

My job involves managing a team of other analysts, helping to look at customer interactions with our websites (Attribution), with our brand (Econometrics), and with the many marketing channels contained therein (Google / Facebook, etc). All of this analysis is possible because at TUI we are fortunate to be using industry leading tools in each of these areas.

As a proponent for the integration of Analytics and Data Science within the Marketing space, I always game for a new challenge to be thrown over the wall from my senior stakeholders!

Amiy discusses her return to TUI and the advantages.

Name: Anthony Channon, Head of Data Science – Group

Title: If data made holidays

Bio:

I am the Group Head of Data Science at TUI. There are three main parts to my role here. Firstly, as the business lead for the analytics platform at TUI I have to ensure that the analytical tools that are being developed can meet the needs of our business and our customers. I also have a small team of Data Scientists whose job it is to drive business value from these platforms and achieve the business outcomes we need.

Finally, I head up the global analytics community at TUI. We’ve got a massive amount of analytical talent at TUI and bringing it together into a functioning practice will amplify the effect we can have in transforming this business.

We’re at the start of an amazing journey with Analytics at TUI and I can’t wait to see what kind of experiences we can drive for our customers.

Overview:

We live in a world shaped by Data, but holidays are often lauded as an opportunity for Digital Detox. What if we used data to transform our holiday experiences, for the better? What would amazing look like? What would we need to deliver it? Who would want it?

In this talk I’ll discuss how approaches and innovations from other industries could transform the experiences of our customers, make them savour more of their holiday and help them extend that feeling in their memories. I’ll talk about what we’re doing at TUI in this space, where our gaps are and what we’re doing about them.
