Happy Valentine’s Day!

Feb 14 2012

You may have noticed something a little different about Blog Southwest this week… they have their Valentine’s Day theme live on the blog! Over the years, Blog Southwest has gone through many iterations, but they’ve always maintained the “candy hearts” theme for Valentine’s Day.

We LUV Southwest’s holiday spirit! Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone.

 

Happy Holidays: SWA Launches Holiday Theme on BlogSouthwest.com

Dec 16 2011
SWA-Winter-2011-Day-670

With the recent news of SWA making a huge purchase of the new Boeing 737MAX8, it is an early Christmas for everyone within the Southwest Airlines family. They will now operate the most fuel efficient, lowest cost to maintain airplanes in the industry.

So, it only makes sense that we filled their Nuts about Southwest Blog with some Holiday cheer. This year we went with a “culinary treats” theme during the day, featuring a gingerbread house with gingerbread men all covered in snow. Colored lights adorn the blog at night turning it into a Holiday light show...

Candy and Cackles: SWA Launches Halloween Theme on BlogSouthwest.com

Oct 28 2011

We love to have fun. And we love that Southwest Airlines loves to have fun, too. Part of our latest blog design (v3) for Nuts About Southwest was adding the ability to create night and day themes for holidays and special occasions. Happily, SWA has really pushed us to make sure we capitalize on that, and as of today, you can now see our “spook-tacular” Halloween theme. If you can stay up past sunset (6:40pm) you can witness two great pieces of ingenuity at work. The first being the custom script that we created to calculate the exact moment that sundown occurs over Love Field (every day of the year, year round) and the second being the illuminating and bewitching night theme...

Happy 5th Birthday to Nuts About Southwest!

Apr 21 2011

Crikey!! We’re not going to let the day lapse without a shout out to the team over at Southwest Airlines for the five year anniversary of Nuts About Southwest! I deserve a trip to the RD2 woodshed for my serious lapse in blogging lately. But today is special...

Introducing Nuts About Southwest 3.0

Jan 26 2011

Five years ago we launched the first version of Nuts About Southwest. It was simple and straight forward. A blog where Southwest Airlines could share their stories and culture. A way to more deeply connect the Southwest Airlines brand with Customers by exposing how Southwest Airlines ticks. We knew this was a very special launch in that Southwest Airlines was taking a tremendous step forward at a time when companies were not yet completely taking the risk of jumping into the social space...

Nuts About Southwest inducted into Blog “Hall of Fame”

Nov 8 2010

Given that Southwest Airlines’ blog, Nuts About Southwest has won “Best Corporate Blog” by PRNews Platinum PR Awards three years straight, it didn’t come as a big surprise when we learned that this year they were inducted into the PR News “...

Blogworld 2010 With Southwest Airlines

Oct 21 2010

This past week and weekend we were able to fly to Las Vegas to participate in Blogworld. Southwest Airlines had a booth and we worked the booth with them for a couple of days. Overall this was a great event. We had the opportunity to spend some quality time with not only the BlogSouthwest team but some other really cool vendors at the show. During the show, Brian Lusk (aka @blogboy) interviewed me. The interview was fun for me as it seems that Brian and I had some good chemistry. We’ve been through a lot together...

35,000 Employees LUV’ing Drupal

Aug 4 2010

Very recently we helped re-launch SWALife, the Corporate Intranet for the Employees of Southwest Airlines. This is exciting for 35,000 reasons – which is roughly the number of Employees who have access to the new and improved Southwest SWALife! Working with Southwest Airlines as we have, they are an extended family. This is a company who carries a passion for its Employees like very few companies do. There are so many vital roles at Southwest Airlines and it was a massive and uplifting opportunity to think through each of the various roles as they would interact with this new Intranet...
