Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company type to yours, since marketing a multi-brand global hotel group differs from marketing a single resort brand or an extended-stay chain. Look at whether each person came up through hotel brand marketing, sales or digital roles outside hospitality, and pick the background closest to your question.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you balance direct booking efforts against online travel agencies and other third-party channels?
- 02How do you build distinct positioning for each brand or property within a portfolio?
- 03Which marketing measures do you report to ownership, and how do they tie to occupancy and room revenue?
