Kestrel Aircraft, wants to treat the entire aviation community to a "Morning Cup".

Superior, WI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/10/2014 -- Kestrel Aircraft, wants to treat the entire aviation community to a "Morning Cup". Kestrel Aircraft, the leader in single-engine turboprop innovation, announced today their new strategy in customer communications. "Kestrel wants to change the way consumers interact in the aviation market" said Chief technologist, Rj Siegel. "Social media is changing the very foundations of corporate structure. The aggregate voices of Facebook, Twitter, etc. reward consumers with vast collective power. When thousands of your customers talk to each other about the relative merits or dysfunctions of your product, you had better listen. Your competitors certainly will."

"Kestrel's intention", said Todd Lohenry, Kestrel's manager of digital and social media, "Is to create an aviation communication hub fueled by Social Media channels. We already have an internet landing site we call "Morning Cup" http://kestrel.aero/morningcup, where we draw current aviation news from a broad mix of media sources. From that page you can engage with your favorite social media tool on the news you've just read. It's the digital equivalent of the "Aviation Club House".

"The general aviation culture is unique" added Lohenry. "It has a rich tradition of social interaction. At an event like EAA AirVenture™, you can chat with a CEO at one booth and an aviation legend at another. Yet not everyone can attend AirVenture. Social media, has the ability to extend that connection virtually to anyone anywhere in the world and that's how we intend to use it. So 'friend us', 'follow us', 'circle us', subscribe to us – quite frankly we don't care how you connect with the club house, just as long as you do!"

On opening day of EAA AirVenture, Kestrel will be delivering content via our website as well as our Facebook Page, Google+ Page, LinkedIn Page and Twitter feed. In addition, we'll be delivering visual content through Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube and Google Hangouts. All of our content, as well as content from the mainstream aviation media and other expert sources will all be collected and available as a 'morning cup' of aviation news that can be displayed on any device from a desktop computer to a smartphone. Or, if you prefer the same content will be available via the Kestrel app which is downloadable via iTunes or the Google Play stores.

Superior, WI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/01/2014 -- Kestrel Aircraft, the leader in single-engine turboprop innovation, today announced a corporate shift in their communication strategy. A new web presence embracing social media as a primary conduit to the general aviation industry.

"It couldn't be more obvious that the biggest social changes in the last 30 years are in communications and aviation has been notoriously slow to adopt these changes". "It's ironic", said Kestrel's Chief Technologist, RJ Siegel, "In an industry where safety is enhanced by rapid communication, like weather, wind, traffic and situational change, the communication between manufacturer and client is mired in the 20th century."

Kestrel has adopted a collaborative communication strategy which will employ various forms of social media to connect with their customers and fans. "Social media promotes interaction between makers and users, which in turn provides rapid feedback and of course, promotes innovation," added Siegel.

"This is a vast communication channel which is only beginning to find its way into aviation", said Siegel. "We fully expect to see these technologies migrate to the aircraft where they will be put to new and useful purposes".

Recently, Kestrel converted its site at http://kestrel.aero to a content management system and is delivering content and connecting at its Facebook, Google+, and LinkedIn pages as well as via its Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest accounts.??Leading up to AirVenture 2014, Kestrel has also created an information hub making available short video clips of their progress towards certification, narrated by CEO, Alan Klapmeier http://kestrel.aero/multimedia and a weekly summary of events at http://kestrel.aero/2014/06/27/best-kestrel-week-ending-062714/
