	Description:		We’ve moved! Find us at https://reimagine-marketing.transistor.fm/ as we continue to ponder the future of customer experience. “The modern (today’s) definition of Southern Hospitality is combining the ease and comfort of a digital interaction with the trust that your individual experience is unique and important.” – Clark Twiddy In a “socially distant” market, the hotel industry is among the hardest hit. Like many industries, hospitality will see both substantial and subtle shifts in the post-pandemic era. In this episode of Reimagine Marketing, Wilson Raj welcomes Clark Twiddy, President of Twiddy & Company to examine a set of recovery scenarios for hotels. On the consumer side, Wilson and Clark explore what guests say will make them feel safe when traveling, including contactless check-ins and check-outs, and an added emphasis on trust. Because “luxury is not a price point, it’s an experience.” This podcast covers: How hospitality and travel brands are rethinking marketing efforts, moving from transaction-oriented to value-oriented. The importance of being fast and digitally relevant while building common trust to reinforce engagements and relationships. How to develop new processes and implement new technologies to adapt quickly to a changing market The significance of creating a culture that promotes agility, innovation and collaboration. Considerations for accelerating not just recovery, but resiliency, in the hospitality industry.
