A creator programme instead of more ad spend

Ad costs rising, trips still selling by word of mouth.

Travel operator (anonymised) · Travel · Creators · Distribution

01 — Problem

Paid acquisition worked until it didn't. Meanwhile the trips that filled fastest were the ones a guest had posted about. Nobody was building on that.

02 — Beginning

We named the real distribution channel — people — and designed a programme around it rather than treating creators as media buys.

03 — Build

  • A creator tier structure with clear expectations on both sides
  • Trip formats designed to be filmed, not just sold
  • A content library the operator owns and reuses
  • Tracking so every creator has an attributable path to a booking

04 — Result

  • A named programme with a repeatable intake
  • Owned footage replacing licensed stock
  • Booking attribution per creator, visible weekly

05 — Next steps

  • Expand to a second region
  • Bring hotel partners into the same programme
