THE GLOWING HALO EFFECT FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM

What we do

HALO GLOWED THROUGH HOSPITALITY'S DARKEST DAYS

 

Halo was born in 2019, just months before the first whispers of COVID rippled through hospitality, threatening the industry that we had been a part of building here in the UK and around the world.

 

Undaunted, instead of pivoting out of our niche, we doubled down with advice, online events, and doing what we could to help our clients weather the storm we were all trying to survive.

 

COVID was the crucible that helped us cement our place as leaders within the hospitality industry here in the UK and across the globe.

DELIVERING THE HALO GLOW

 

As individuals working for brands like Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts,  and The Goring, we expected that combining our skills and experiences would be powerful. However, we didn’t expect the awards to start pouring in for our efforts in helping relaunch the hospitality industry. The continuous support from our clients and their rave reviews confirm that our approach to creating experiences and executing marketing and communications strategies exceeds expectations.
