The challenge
Most bookings came through high-commission platforms, squeezing margins and leaving the group with no direct relationship to its guests.
What we did
- Brand-led content and social that built demand for the properties directly.
- Lifecycle email and CRM to convert and retain guests first-party.
- Measurement on direct-booking share and repeat rate, not raw traffic.
The results
Direct bookings grew 2.4×, repeat guests rose 63%, and blended acquisition cost dropped — a healthier, more durable demand base.
[—] In their words
They moved our demand to direct channels without losing volume. Margins are healthier and guests come back.
