According to Suzie O’Dea, director at TRA Brands: “We’re delighted with this win and excited to start telling the KAYAK story in Ireland. KAYAK is at the leading edge of global travel tech innovation, with mind-blowingly smart tools that should very quickly make it the go-to travel search engine for a nation of adventure seekers. We are really looking forward to introducing KAYAK to the travel loving Irish public with some fun activations in the coming months.”
The partnership will see TRA Brands working closely with KAYAK’s European offices in Berlin, Zurich and London to co-ordinate all consumer PR communications and experiential marketing in Ireland.
