Our thinking on what is actually working in travel, tourism and wellbeing influencer marketing — no fluff, no trend-chasing.
The data from our last 40 campaigns tells a nuanced story. Follower count is almost never the right signal. Here is what to look for instead.
A traveller might see your content in January and book in September. Traditional last-click models completely miss that.
Hosting a creator is not a marketing strategy. Here is what actually converts a stay into real bookings.
Searches for off-the-beaten-path travel have grown for three years. Most brand attempts miss the point entirely.
Seasonality is predictable. So is traveller decision-making. Here is how we map content to the booking window.
Reach and engagement rate are table stakes. The metrics that predict success require more work to surface.
