Every signal. One traveler.
A traveler planning a trip leaves a trail: the articles they read, the trip they search for, the newsletter they open from a brand like yours, the site they keep coming back to. We put all the signals together, find the travelers who are about to decide, and trace every click, inquiry or booking back to the signal that found it.

The ceiling
Most advertising keeps paying for the same people.
Every audience has a ceiling. Bid on the same segment month after month and it costs more and answers less, because those people have seen the ad a dozen times. Growth means finding the next travelers already looking, before everyone else is bidding on them too.
- 81%of senior marketing leaders say their company targets the same audiences as budgets grow.
- 46%feel pressure from finance to prove that new spend reaches new people, not the same ones again.
- 92%would move budget to the open web if they could follow one customer from the first touch to the sale.

What we target
Eight signals, in any combination.
You pick them yourself in your portal, or we choose them with you. We tell you each one’s monthly reach before anything is spent, and none of them uses a list of names. On top of any of them, we can lean your campaigns toward the places where people are searching most for your trips or your destination this week.
Already in the market
Travelers already researching, comparing and pricing where you are or what you sell this week, not people who once liked a beach photo.
What they search for
The trips, places and dates they type into a search box. The plainest sign there is that someone is planning.
Opening emails from brands like yours
People who opened a newsletter from a brand like yours in the last 90 days. They are reading offers in your category right now.
What they read
Your ad beside the destination guides and travel stories they are reading, at the moment the idea is forming.
Where they live
Near the airports and ports your trips leave from, or in the feeder cities your visitors come from.
Who they are
Declared age and gender, alone or layered on any signal here.
Back for a second look
People who have already been to your page, back in front of you before they choose someone else. Only with our tracking: a landing page we build and host, or our tag on your site.
Like your best customers
New travelers who behave like the ones who already inquired or booked, so the next audience comes from your best one.
The closed loop
Whatever you count, traced to the signal that found it.
With our tracking on your page, or on a page we build for you, every click, inquiry or booking is matched back to the audience that reached the traveler first. You see which signals bring them, and we move the budget toward them while the month is still running, not after it.
This is the report: not how many people saw an ad, but which people clicked, inquired or booked, and how each was found.

What we never do
We never see who they are.
No names, no email addresses, no lists to buy, sell or lose. The signals are anonymous, and the matching of one traveler across sites and devices happens inside the ad networks we buy from, on identifiers that never reach us. We never receive personal data about the people we target.
And we count what they do. With our tracking on your page, every click, inquiry, call or booking is matched to the signal that found the traveler, and you can check it in your own analytics.
