How is JetBlue connecting to their customers through Mobile Technology? Jonathan Steven, Jet Blue Head of Mobile answers

Recently, Jonathan Stephen, Head of Mobile, JetBlue Airways, sat down with the TMRE team to discuss the evolution of mobile research at his company. In his role, he looks at how consumers interact with devices through their interaction with JetBlue.

During the podcast, he gave advice to researchers on how to better serve their clients:

I think there is a lot of research out there, but I think that ultimately it's good to understand that every industry is different. So, being in the travel vertical it's good for us to not only understand what pertains to mobile, what types of devices are out there or what is the percentage of saturation by device, but it's also good for us to understand how users are using their devices today and, ultimately, what they are looking for in the future. We feel that research plays a huge role in that for us. So, we see tons of value there and we will obviously continue to make sure that we keep that as part of our process moving forward.
