OF COURSE the leader behind @actuallyaway is Cayla from NBA R&D!!

I am very, VERY excited about the brand direction she takes Away towards. Everything feels so fresh, genuine, and actually fun without overly trying!

Away positioning themselves as a more train / Amtrak friendly brand is pretty smart; going towards trains feels like it understands a younger, city-dwelling audience that would rather Amtrak train their way to vacations, and is an audience that other luggage companies don't pay as much attention to

Away is repackaging brand marketing as entertainment. Nothing says content innovation like smarter wrapping.
