6. Case study: American Express airline loyalty scheme
American Express partnered with an airline to create an
air miles loyalty scheme. The scheme was to give
customers points that could eventually be used to purchase
flights, each time they used their American Express card.
Innovative air miles customer loyalty schemes such as this
require the intricate management of a lot of consumer
information from many sources, so must be robust, secure,
well supported and well maintained.
American Express uses big data to make the airline
loyalty scheme one of the most successful scheme.
One of the reasons this particular loyalty scheme is so successful is that
both American Express and its airline partner recognize their clients as
unique consumers with the help of big data

10. CHALLENGES WITH SOCIAL MEDIA BIG DATA
• One of the biggest challenge with so much data on social
media is; deriving a meaningful contextual information.
• Social media data is unstructured. Unlike other customer
data from retail, banking etc. which is structured, data on
social media is unstructured.
Most organizations want to capture contextual conversations and other
widely available sources of unstructured data from social media, blog
commentaries and other sources in real time, and put them side by side with
structured data in their information ecosystem for a much clearer picture of
what is going on

11. Making sense out of the
unstructured data from
social media biggest
challenge

12. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
• Such unstructured data from social media has to be
approached in a non traditional manner
• Mastering the science of understanding the exploding
big data from social media will definitely be a game
changer
