The Moodie Davitt Report has revealed its winners of The Moodies for 2020, and for the third consecutive year AOE is among the prize winners – this time receiving two of the coveted prizes. The two Moodies were awarded to AOE in the following categories:

Best Launch/Relaunch Campaign – Winner Retailer: KrisShop Relaunch
Best E/M Commerce – Winner Airport: Auckland Airport – The Mall

With the two awards, The Moodie Davitt Report recognizes AOE for its innovative aviation and travel retail solutions and the company’s continuous efforts to create new business models and approaches to meeting the challenges facing the aviation and travel retail industry – challenges that have reached new dimensions in light of the current COVID-19 crisis.

Kian Gould, founder and CEO of AOE, said, “We are thrilled about the ongoing recognition by the aviation and travel retail industry, which is reflected in these Moodie awards. Aviation and travel retail have been hit particularly hard by current events and we believe that our approach to meeting these challenges can help industry professionals to mitigate the impact brought on by COVID-19 in the mid- to long-term.”

We're thrilled to recognize – and to be associated with – such an outstanding line-up of winners."

Awards were conferred in 23 categories, with the winners being chosen from 142 shortlisted finalists. Entries for the non-commercial Moodies were generated from a mix of self-nominated companies or nominated by independent parties. Nominees were judged considering the following key criteria:

Total budget & objectives
Target audience & strategy
Implementation & creativity
Results & evaluation

Additional criteria considered included quantifiable impact, customer engagement, visual appeal, quality of content, incentive to spend and impact on the traveler experience.

The Moodie Awards comprise digital, mobile, social media and marketing activities across airports overall, plus airport retail as well as food and beverage. Winners will be featured in a workshop during the inaugural Moodie Davitt Virtual Travel Retail Expo.
