Our Mission
At Guestwise we love hospitality and the valiant people fighting to make marketing great for guests and brands.
We have built technology that helps hospitality marketing people achieve more, without doing a lot more. Whether this is increased effectiveness of paid social activities, making brand websites work harder, or increasing the effectiveness of direct email or sms campaigns.
Our culture is open, proactive, transparent and fun. Life is meant for living, and social experiences are a key component of that, so our dream is to help hospitality operators thrive and provide the best possible digital experiences for their guests.
Our Team
We have people from lots of countries and backgrounds. All bringing a unique perspective and expertise to the table, always customer focused, and driven to succeed.
