Airport Experience NPS Program
“Now Melbourne Airport are out of COVID, we made the conscious decision as a business, rather than to re-instate all the disparate pieces of work we were doing, we would bring all the pieces of work into one program – the Airport Experience NPS program. This program is now tied into our corporate score card. It’s been an amazing step forward, we have removed about 20-30% duplication (ASQ, QSM, Reputation tracker) of questions so it’s a much more cost effective way of doing it, but even more than that the level of insight that THINK provides is much richer.
I can’t recommend THINK highly enough, their agility to respond and action things quickly has been key to getting this program off the ground. Don’t ever underestimate continuity of experience - THINK understand our changing traveller and this space.”
WENDI PEARCEHEAD OF TRAVELLER EXPERIENCE, MELBOURNE AIRPORT
Based on 20 years of measuring the airport experience, THINK has developed the ‘Airport Experience NPS Program” a methodology that incorporates both traveller and stakeholder insights to design airports of future.
The program delivers a 360-degree view of the airport by using one voice of the customer (B2B and B2C) combining:
- Airport of choice and reputation
- Competitor benchmarking
- Operational service metrics
- Net Promoter Score (NPS)
- Traveller segmentation
- Traveller experience monitoring
- Mapping the traveller journey
THINK has worked to customise the ‘Airport Experience NPS Program’ with sizing and valuing segments, determining propensity to travel.
This is an agile and adaptable 12 month program tailored to individual Airport needs, working with stakeholders for operational ACCC reporting, action planning across business units, and feeding into strategic pillars and corporate scorecards.
The key questions we answer:
- What is the evolution of the traveller?
- What are the key pain points across the end-to-end traveller and stakeholder journey?
- What improvements should be prioritised?
- What metrics should be used for a strategic planning and corporate scorecards?
- What is the Airport of choice and their reputation?
- How do our stakeholders perceive our performance?
- What are current and emerging traveller segments?
- What is the size and value of our traveller segments?
- What are emerging needs and wants of travellers?
What deliverables you can expect across 12 months:
- Rolling daily sample for data capture
- Live dashboard of results
- Data files sent weekly to monthly based on needs
- Quarterly or biannual results based on needs
- Annual Airport Experience Report
- Workshops and action planning

Creative Industry Market Research
Research to Enhance,
Not Impede Creative Ideas.
Traditionally, research and creative industries speak a different language. Despite working for same clients, neither of the industries help the other achieve true effectiveness.
At THINK, we do this differently. We independently test creative executions to identify opportunities for amplifying the impact of communication ideas and the execution, without disregarding the existing elements that are working.
Traditional research has often resulted in abandoning effective creative ideas due to the wrong reasons. Research approaches widely used for advertising effectiveness prediction testing failed to separate the flaws in ideas and the execution, and further break down the executional elements that were contributing to negative results.
Our Approach Allows:
- Validating decisions at each stage of the production process – from cast hiring to the script and execution effectiveness
- Distinguishing whether the issues lie in the ideas or execution – to ensure one does not make the other unnecessarily redundant
- Minimising budget and time wasted on refinements by “testing as you go”
- Pinpointing the elements that need refinement, rather than disregarding the whole concept
- Having the confidence that there will be no major “surprises” at the final stages of campaign testing
Strategic Production Process:
- Traditional research has often resulted in impeding, rather than enhancing creativity. The majority of research was only conducted at the start and the end of the research process, making it hard to monitor the effectiveness of creative decisions made “in between”.
- At THINK, we focus on testing the right elements at the right time. Testing each of the campaign components as the production process unfolds allows making quicker adjustments. As a result, clients and agencies avoid having to waste unnecessary budget and time down the track, with final testing showing no “major surprises”.
Research can enhance creativity.
