We made measurement simple for a global luxury hotel portfolio – from segmenting metrics at region and property level to unearthing deep competitor insights.

Background

Locke has 11 hotels in 7 cities across Europe with more locations opening each year. With integrated international campaigns executed by multiple agencies across PR, social media, paid ads, etc., Locke needed a solution to benchmark performance across agencies, territories and channels whilst ensuring that data shared between collaborative internal teams is consistent and reliable to unlock future growth.

How We Got There

BoldLens™ became the single source of marketing information and insight across the entire Locke group, providing a streamlined view of all growth metrics – from search and revenue, to ADR and RevPar. To facilitate deeper analysis, BoldLens™ provided granular breakdowns across locations, regions and groups. As well as tracking the health of the brand as a whole, Locke can monitor PR, social mentions, web activity, and reviews for a specific hotel against its local and global comp sets. BoldLens™ overlays bookings as a primary commercial metric on visualisations across the platform, and provides a granular breakdown across an additional range of bespoke KPIs – from ‘number of rooms per booking’ and ‘days to booking from first website visit’ to ‘average booking value’ and ‘location leaderboards’.
