Sojern's New Boarding Pass and Social Integration Capabilities Take Off

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ Sojern, the leading travel data and media company, today announced the release of their new Boarding Pass design that provides highly targeted content to travelers that check-in for flights online. As part of the new product, Sojern introduced new social integration features that will allow travelers to share their travel plans with friends and followers on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Porsche has also announced that they will be using the premium platform to target an influential audience for the introduction of the new four-door Panamera S Hybrid model.

The new Boarding Pass leverages premium content from trusted sources such as weather forecasts from CustomWeather, local event listings and information from Zvents, destination specific travel guides from NileGuide and useful information on upcoming trips such as flight status, terminal maps, and destination weather.

The enhanced boarding pass also includes a feature that gives brand advertisers exclusive access to all the distinct ad spaces on the passes as well as a rich media placement. Porsche will be using the enhancement to introduce the hybrid version of its Panamera S model next month.

“This program allows us to connect with our customers and prospects in virtually any market and across the mediums that that they are using any minute of the day,” said Josh Cherfoli – Online & Relationship Marketing Manager, Porsche Cars North America.  “We are using the rich media platform, because it provides us with the most compelling and targeted method of truly demonstrating our cars to the premium business and leisure traveler.”
