November 2015 airportbusiness 21 Brad McAllister finds airports in the United States are operated and financed in a way that is quite different from the rest of the world, giving them some unique challenges, particularly in adopting new and emerging technologies that increase safety and enhance the passenger experience. Currently, as the director of marketing for Florida-based aviation IT solutions firm, AirIT, an Amadeus company, McAllister is uniquely poised to help airports with their technology needs. McAllister joined AirIT in February 2013 after five years as a key part of the editorial production of Cygnus Business Media's Airport Business magazine. Here, McAllister developed and managed the social media efforts for several aviation-related media properties, and aided in launching the AviationPros.com web portal and multiple daily aviation e-newsletters. At AirIT, McAllister directs and coordinates the activities of the marketing department and aids the president and CEO in formulating and administering organizational policies. He developed AirIT's corporate social media policy. McAllister also directs corporate advertising, manages media and public relations, coordinates AirIT's Annual User Conference, manages corporate website development, coordinates event and industry conferences, handles marketing and corporate branding, assists senior sales management on sales channel development activity, and helps establish sales goals.
