“Creators are distribution channels — treat them like partners, not marketing line items.”

Operational checklist

1. Build co-branded bundles and capsule drops.
2. Offer direct incentives like F&B credits and early check-in.
3. Measure booking lift and marginal cost of creator activations.

Final advice

Start with a single creator partnership and a measurable offer. Iterate based on conversion and guest feedback; creators that deliver repeatable bookings deserve deeper collaboration.
