Traveas – We are hiring!

Do you want to be a part of one of the hottest Stockholm based media companies around?

Well, now you have the chance to join us, since we are hiring. At the moment we are looking for a person with the following qualities, skills and profile:

Key Account Manager:

We think you are experienced in selling online media, with a focus on bigger clients and media agencies. Experienced, in a way that you have built up your network and reputation on the market, ready to fly a new plane! However, yet hungry for more sales and doing more business (we are not looking for a Sales Manager). To set your expectations right: you´re gonna bring in the orders yourself.

In your sales portfolio you´ll have two of the most fast growing advertising networks in the Nordics:

- Traveas Travel Network (reaching millions of travellers all over the world)

- Traveas Sports Network (reaching millions of active athletes within golf, football, ice hockey, floor ball and basketball)

All in all, Traveas aggregates media volumes for the Nordic market up to approx 40 million unique email sendouts to travellers and active athletes.

Watch these clips and you´ll get a good grip of what you´ll be selling:

We offer you an adventure, with great possibilities to grow both as a sales person as well as a business man or woman. We also offer you a solid base salary with commission on top, and of course all the equipment you need in order to sell.

Launch: The largest advertising network in sports, for active athletes

8 December, 2011

Hi, this is your friends at Traveas again, back with some really exciting stuff. This time in sports.

You see, we´re now launching the largest advertising network for sports, in Sweden. During 2012 we will make approx 40 million sport connected email send outs. Our advertising network is specialized not only in communicating via email, but via transaction driven email send outs . This means that we send an email in the aftermath of a transaction, a booking being made or an event taking place.

For instance, we send more than 10 million email send outs to active golfers, on their way to the golf course. Imagine the power if you sell golf balls…

A new media channel is born. To get an even better understanding of how it works, check out this short video:

traveas-sports-advertising-network2

Launching in 2012, the largest Sports vertical for active athletes. Besides golf, we´ll do the same for football, ice hockey, basketball and floorball.

So, if you sell stuff for active athletes you´ve definately come to the right place.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any question or to learn more about how you can become an advertiser.

Cheers!

Traveas update

16 September, 2011

Hi all Traveas friends!

First of all, sorry for the lack of activity on the blog lately. It has nothing to do with lazyness nor inactivity in our business. On the contrary, we´ve kept ourselves quite busy. In fact, so busy that the daily operations have eaten up all our time. Motto: Business first, then blog about it :-)

Anyhow, this will therefore be an attempt to summarize the past months:

First of all, we´ve now successfully launched the Email Composer service for our first travel clients. If you´ve missed out on how it works, check out this clip:

bookings-enriched-youtube-clip1

Thereafter we´ve applied our tehnology on new industries, opening up a whole new market for Traveas. For instance, we´ve succesfully launched a tailored Email Composer version for the Swedish Golf Association, that handles all bookings of tee off times, for every golf club in Sweden (more than 500 clubs).

This means that all Swedish golfers, including the other fellow players in a ball, get an enriched email confirmation about their booking. In short, besides facts about their tee off time, handicap status, they also get local and relevant information. To mention a few examples:

- Weather forecast

- Special offers on golf balls, clubs, clothing etc

- Golf trips

- Green fee guests will get a map with directions to get there

Wanna see how it looks? Check this out:

traveas-sgf-bekfraftelsemail

Traveas have suddenly, over night, become the biggest and by far most precise golf media in Sweden. We send approx 10 million emails to active golfers during 2011. I´ll get back further on with more details about this new golf media.

Further on, in the aftermath of us now being somewhat of a media company, we sell advertising space. Looking back on the portfolio of brands we´ve attracted as advertisers and sponsors, we´re really proud :-) For the travel media we see leading players within ground transportations, hotels, exchange institutions, banks, insurance etc.

For our golf media we´ve seen leading companies within all golf associated brands, as well as banks, cars, watches etc.

I´ll settle for this for now, but I will return within shortly with more information, fun deals and stories to be told from inside the Traveas team :-)

Cheers!

/ Jack
