👤 The Candidate Spotlight
Each week, TTS features candidates looking for new roles in the travel industry. TTS is here to provide fully discreet introductions to companies that fit their needs and wants. To learn more or get an introduction, contact [email protected].
The Profile: The "Brand Architect"
Target Role: VP of Marketing / Head of Brand Strategy
Experience: 14+ years (Ultra-Luxury Cruise, Boutique Hospitality, & Lifestyle Media)
Location: Flexible / Remote (Previously based in London and NYC)
The Scouting Report: A rare "integrated" marketer who bridges the gap between high-concept creative and hard-nosed ROI. This candidate recently spent five years at a Top-3 Ultra-Luxury Cruise Line, where they spearheaded a DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) pivot that reduced agency dependency by 30% while increasing organic bookings by 22% YoY.
Why they are a "Must-Hire":
The "Luxury" Nuance: They understand that in the $1,000+ ADR world, "luxury" is a feeling, not just a price point. They have a proven track record of elevating legacy brands for a younger, affluent demographic without alienating the core base.
Digital Transformation: This isn't just a "creative" leader; they are "MarTech-literate." They’ve led successful implementations of end-to-end CRM and loyalty platforms that actually talk to the operations team on the ground.
Flat Organization Specialist: While they’ve managed large global agencies, they thrive in "speed-to-market" environments where they can be hands-on with the strategy and the execution.
