The Idea
Braze’s strategy involved leveraging insights, real-time behavioral events, personalized content, geo-location tracking and AI tools across multiple mobile channels to deliver relevant messages to customers at each phase of their journey.
To transform the customer experience, Tui developed new real-time app features and mobile messages that utilized customer insights, in-the-moment behavioral data and AI tools.

This approach was implemented across eight markets to provide a connected mobile experience for Tui customers globally.
