Patrick and the Lightbulb team supported us in a number of commercial projects, including helping enhance our revenue management culture across the business and positioning all our hotels and spa in their respective markets. They also helped develop the brand proposition for one of our hotels and provide guidance on the ideal brand and marketing affiliation programmes for a planned new development. Across all projects, they worked closely with my teams, gaining buy-in at every step from all stakeholders - a perfect fit for our business!
