Move bookings off third-party channels and onto the group

The Challenge

Forty Brands Competing With Each Other

Each property marketed itself, often against its sister property, and the group brand did nothing to earn a direct booking.

Guests found properties through aggregators and booked there, so the group paid commission on customers it had effectively created. There was no reason to book direct, no loyalty benefit visible at the point of decision, and no consistency between one property and the next.

The Strategy

Why We Went This Direction

We gave the group a reason to exist at the moment of booking.

The group brand was repositioned around what only it can offer — range, consistency and recognition across properties — and that promise was made concrete at the point where guests choose. Individual properties kept their character inside a system that made the group legible.

  • Conversion-Focused Web Design
  • Paid Acquisition
  • Retention Through Subscription Messaging

Execution

What We Actually Did

  1. Group Positioning

    Defined what the parent brand offers that a single property cannot, and made it visible at booking.

  2. Property Framework

    A system that lets each property keep its character without fragmenting the group.

  3. Direct Booking Experience

    Rebuilt the path so booking direct is plainly the better option.

  4. Channel Economics

    Measurement on direct share and commission, not on bookings alone.

  • Brand Repositioning
  • Conversion-Focused Web Design
  • Paid Acquisition
  • Retention Through Subscription Messaging

In Their Words

What clients say when we're not in the room.

  • “Koncept rebuilt our entire online presence in under three months, and our online orders have nearly quadrupled since. They think like a partner, not a vendor.”

    Rachel Simmonds

    Founder, Northfield Organics

  • “What stood out was how few people we had to talk to get things done. One team, one point of contact, and the work still felt senior at every step.”

    James Whitfield

    Marketing Director, Harrow & Vale Properties

  • “We've worked with agencies twice their size that couldn't move this fast without breaking something. Koncept hasn't dropped a ball yet.”

    Sarah Delgado

    VP Marketing, Vantera Health Clinics

  • “Their strategy work alone justified the engagement. The creative and performance marketing that followed just compounded it.”

    Michael Chen

    CEO, Loopline Technologies

  • “Time zones were never an issue. It genuinely felt like they were down the hall, even with a twelve-hour difference.”
