The Challenge

Expedia had acquired a collection of brands in the vacation retal industry to compete against AirBnb, including VRBO, HomeAway, Homelidays, TopRural, among others.


Traditionally these brands had operated independently in different markets.


Expedia wanted to bring consistency, efficiency and scale to all their online media efforts


I joined the global marketing strategy team supporting them develop the infraestructura, processes and scale up their marketing efforts globally from this centralised team.

The Process

Led the global marketing acquisition strategy, roadmap campaign and testing plan across EMEA, Americas and APAC. Built the system, frameworks, best practices and scaling up of activities.

Partnering with product to develop the technology for advanced audience targeting, smart bidding, programmatic/ messaging and personalisation enablement.

The del Coursy Collection

I work with The del Coursy Collection for 5 wonderful years managing and implementing full-service marketing. This included social media, email marketing, content marketing, web design, media production and PR. When I started working with del Coursy they focused on their brick-and-mortar store and had zero online footprint. I built their online presence from the ground up.
