Proper marketing training for hospitality marketers
Hospitality marketers are expected to drive demand, fill venues, support sales teams, build brands and create campaigns, mostly without ever having been trained in marketing.
My Marketing Academy helps hospitality, hotel, venue and events marketers build stronger commercial thinking in the core fundamentals including diagnosis, strategy, and tactical execution across the whole marketing mix, not just content and advertising.
Most marketers are expected to learn on the job
In hospitality, marketing teams are too often expected to support sales, create F&B collateral, generate enquiries, fill venues, build brands, create campaigns, manage content, report on performance... and somehow keep everyone happy.
But over half of them have never had formal training in the principles that sit behind effective marketing. That means too much energy gets pulled into promotion and activity, while the bigger commercial questions around diagnosis, strategy, positioning, pricing, product and distribution get no attention, leading to less effective outcomes.
Proper marketing training gives teams a clearer way to think, not just more things to do!
Marketing training to create customers, not content
Hospitality marketing shouldn't just be about creating campaigns, posting on social media or producing more content. But far too often, marketing is just seen as the "sales support" function.
For hotels, venues, events businesses and hospitality brands, more effective marketing - the sort that drives commercial growth - starts much earlier than advertising. It starts with understanding the market, diagnosing the real commercial problems, choosing where to play and what to say, understanding what you're trying to achieve, and then using the right tactics to drive demand.
That's why I built my Academy - to give proper marketing training for hospitality teams; to make them better at marketing, gain confidence and, more importantly, drive growth instead of vanity metrics.
What my marketing training covers
The most commercially effective hospitality marketing doesn't start with a campaign, it starts with a clear process:
Diagnosis > Strategy > Tactics
That means learning how to understand the market, gather useful customer insight, segment and target more intelligently, position the brand or venue more clearly, set better objectives and make stronger decisions across product, pricing, distribution and communications.
🔍 Diagnosis: customer centricity, market research and meaningful segmentation
♟️ Strategy: audience targeting, brand positioning and SMART objectives
🔧 Tactics: product, pricing, place, promotion and integrated execution
