The Challenge

Sea Island, an exceptional destination fueled by heartfelt hospitality since 1928 and the only resort in the world to achieve four Forbes Five Stars 14 years in a row, needed to maintain performance in 2020 as the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic hit and the travel industry slowed to a halt.

The Process

Given the shifting market, our paid media goals and strategy needed to shift.

Goal 1: Drive future bookings (since people were not yet ready to travel)

  • Shift media dollars from lower funnel to upper funnel, creating awareness to new audiences and staying top of mind to existing
  • Adjust messaging to focus on booking in advance

Goal 2: Capitalize on new audiences

  • Shift geo-targeting to drive radius markets vs fly markets
  • Identify new "rising" audiences over-indexing on bookings such as international travelers that may now be looking for domestic travel, etc.

The Solution

Implementing these strategies and remaining nimble in an ever-changing market resulted in a +7% increase in ROAS in 2020 for this luxury resort.
