Overview
Developed digital advertising and content marketing strategy for a tour operator, connecting destination content with performance media to drive holiday enquiries and bookings. Delivered audience segmentation, channel strategy across search and social, content programme aligned to the travel research journey, and a measurement framework attributing campaign investment to booking outcomes.
Who This Is For
Tour operators, travel businesses, or destination experiences companies with 50-500 employees investing in digital advertising and content marketing to drive holiday enquiries and bookings. Typically managing a mix of brand content and performance channels without a unified strategy connecting content investment to booking outcomes.
The Challenge
The tour operator invests in digital advertising and content marketing but the two operate separately. Destination content is produced editorially without a clear connection to paid media strategy. Performance campaigns are optimised for clicks and conversions without the supporting content that builds confidence and desire earlier in the travel research journey. The result is a digital marketing operation that drives traffic without the content ecosystem needed to convert that traffic into bookings.
