Challenge
Jetstar faces significant competition both within the airline industry and the digital experience landscape. Customer expectations are influenced as much by other airlines as by AirBnB, Netflix and Disney.
Jetstar engaged Isobar to support on a number of key challenges, from improving their teams and overall business direction, reimagining the consistency of their consumer experience, maintaining and delivering 23 websites and booking platforms (and in multiple languages), as well as improving their speed to market with new products and innovations.

- A brand refresh
- Creating a Jetstar experience language
- A .Com launch
