Before working with Fastrack Digital, our direct bookings were 20%. Now they are over 80% month after month.

The Challenge

Capital Hotel Group were looking for a full-service digital marketing agency specialising in the hotel and travel industry to outsource their digital marketing and to support their current Digital Marketing Manager.

Being in a highly competitive and highly seasonal market, with also a large increase in the percentage of their bookings for each property being made via Online Travel Agents (OTAs).
