Almarose Hotels & Resorts - A Case Study
WHY OUTSOURCING A MARKETING DIRECTOR
WILL ADD VALUE TO YOUR BUSINESS

In 2019, Halo was tasked with devising a marketing plan and executing immediate marketing activity for UK hospitality brand, Almarose Hotels & Resorts following a recent acquisition, which saw the complete restructure of the revenue, sales and marketing operations.
Ashleigh became their 'virtual' Marketing Director, undertaking a full audit of their marketing & PR activity to create both immediate and long-term marketing plans to continue to build awareness of the hotels’ portfolio in target leisure and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conference and Events) markets.
We supported the company’s existing digital marketing team by providing a full web audit and implementing a standard operating procedure for future website updates for each hotel in the group.
We then complemented digital activity with off-line marketing campaigns, including undertaking direct marketing campaigns for leisure and MICE markets, providing recommendations for the implementation of new brand guidelines and creating a proposed marketing resource structure that is now being implemented by the company as part of their commercial restructure.
“Ashleigh provided strategic marketing and communications leadership at a time when the company was at a very embryonic stage, whilst dealing with a strong legacy around organisational changes that had taken place in the previous eighteen months. Ashleigh’s direction, thought leadership and expertise helped us to quickly establish the priorities, deal with the “what’s important now” and develop a clear plan for the future with next steps. Over the three months that Ashleigh worked with us she built some very strong relationships, proved some quick wins and helped in communicating the marketing priorities to a wide range of stakeholders. She’s a pleasure to work with and I’d love the opportunity once again in the future.”
Philip Gardner, Commercial Director, Almarose Hotels & Resorts.
