For Travel & Hospitality PR Firms

The Relationship Data Lives
in People's Heads
And Their Individual Inboxes.

An operating system for hospitality PR. So the media relationships, client history, and institutional knowledge belong to the firm, not the person who happens to be managing the account.

▾

Media Relations

Three hundred journalist relationships
managed by memory and inbox search

The Conde Nast Traveler editor who covered your Maldives property last year just moved to Travel + Leisure. Who knows?
Your senior account manager pitched the same journalist twice in one week for two different clients. Nobody caught it.
A reporter at Skift is writing about luxury wellness retreats. You have three clients who fit. But you only remembered two.
Media lists live in personal spreadsheets. When someone leaves, the lists go with them.

Sarah Chen, T+L - Confirmed for Aman press trip

Confirmed

Michael Torres, Skift - Wellness feature pitch

Pitched

Duplicate pitch to Rachel Kim - Two clients, same week

Conflict

Forbes Travel Guide deadline - 4 properties pending

Due Thu

What changes

Every journalist interaction tracked across all account managers and all clients
Pitch conflicts caught before they happen, not after
When a reporter moves outlets, the relationship history follows

Retention Risk

When an account manager leaves,
five client relationships go with them

The AM who managed your Four Seasons accounts for three years just gave notice. She knows which editors prefer email vs. phone, which properties need hand-holding, and which GM to call directly.
Her replacement inherits a Dropbox folder and a two-page handoff doc. The real knowledge walked out the door.
It takes six months for the new person to rebuild trust with the client and the media contacts. Some never come back.
You've lost clients not because of bad work, but because of bad transitions

What changes

Relationship intelligence belongs to the firm, captured automatically from the work
New AMs inherit full context: pitch history, editor preferences, client quirks
Client transitions take days instead of months

Client Ops

Client reporting that takes more time
than the actual PR work

Every month: pull clips, compile coverage, calculate AVE, write the narrative, format the deck, send it out. For every client.
The GM at the resort wants weekly updates. The corporate marketing team wants monthly. The ownership group wants quarterly with different metrics.
A client calls and asks "what coverage did we get from that press trip?" You spend 30 minutes pulling it together from email threads.
You're spending Monday mornings on reports instead of pitching stories

What changes

Coverage tracking feeds directly into client reports at whatever cadence they want
Press trip ROI assembled from data already captured, not reconstructed
Monday mornings go back to media relations

Time

The job is relationships,
but the day is administration

Press trip logistics: flights, visas, dietary restrictions, room assignments, itinerary changes. For 12 journalists, across 3 time zones.
A tourism board RFP landed Friday. It's due Wednesday. You need case studies, team bios, coverage samples, and a budget. All formatted.
Your best people spend 60% of their time on coordination and 40% on the relationships that actually win coverage.
Every new client means more admin, not proportionally more pitching

What changes

Press trip logistics tracked in one system, not twelve email threads
RFP responses pull from past work, not from scratch every time
The ratio flips: more time pitching, less time administrating

✈

Journalist preferences, travel logistics, itinerary versions
Every detail in one place, not scattered across inboxes
Post-trip follow-up tracked to coverage

Every pitch, every angle, every response across all clients

🔒

Private infrastructure

Media contacts, client strategies, and pitch intelligence run on hardware we control. Your competitive advantage never touches a third party's servers.

📱

No new software to learn

Text it, email it, Slack it. The system works through the tools your team already uses. No app rollout. No training sessions.

🛡

Your media relationships are your moat

Editor relationships, pitch history, and placement track records are your competitive edge. We treat them that way.

1

You pick one problem

Whichever would change your week the most. You know your operation.

2

We build it on your real workflow

Not a demo with fake data. 30 days on your actual operation. No long-term contract.

3

If it works, we add the next one

Each capability is modular. Same system. The pace is yours.

We build AI-powered operational systems for select clients. We started by building one for ourselves, running a creative agency with 50+ AI agents handling the work that used to eat our week.

Why hospitality PR

Travel PR firms run on relationships and institutional knowledge. Both are fragile. When an AM leaves, the relationships fracture. We make the knowledge permanent so the relationships survive any transition.
