The hospitality industry has a growing market of both supply and demand for Influencer Marketing, and a data-backed solution to planning and measurement is critical for success. Curacity’s omni-channel datasets and one-of-a-kind infrastructure has proved, over the past 24 months, that editorial content drives hotel bookings; in turn, hotels have received a measurable ROI based on incremental, downstream direct booking revenue.

“We’re cracking the code of turning the demand that influencers on Instagram create into an investable and measurable revenue channel for hotels,” said Mike Keriakos, Founder and CEO of Curacity. “Travel, and hotels in particular, are one of the top categories of content shared on Instagram. Using our data network to get the right revenue-generating influencers into brand-aligned hotels should represent the most exciting new distribution opportunity the hotel industry has seen in a long time.”

Ultimately, Curacity aspires to enable luxury hotels to turn 1 percent of their unoccupied rooms, given to the right influencers, into 5 to 10 percent of their direct revenue. Curacity already has access to omni-channel customer data from over 300 of the world’s top luxury hotels representing more than $300 million of customer acquisition spend.

“There is a high frequency of Influencer Marketing campaigns being deployed throughout the travel industry; however, the influencer marketing value chain remains highly fragmented and antiquated,” stated Dan Benyamin, Founder and CEO of CitizenNet. “We are thrilled to partner with Curacity to bring to market a turnkey product that uses statistical reasoning and a data backed approach to plan, activate and measure the impact of branded content, while reducing risk and increasing scalability, for travel and hospitality brands.”
