Head of E-commerce & Marketing
As the Head of E-commerce & Marketing with AX Hotels, I headed the strategic direction for one of the largest 4 and 5-star hotel chains in Malta. At the helm of a talented marketing team, driven by me, I developed and executed a multi-channel approach that optimised digital, search, PPC, and social media campaigns to drive actual results.
This meant optimisation for direct booking, up from 3% to 10%. With clear key performance indicators, supported by ongoing campaign optimisation, long-term success was achieved with high performance.
