Avvio Celebrates Successful September
Global technology provider Avvio announces a series of successes following an impressive September, including award wins and a growing hotel customer list. The now multi award-winning solutions provider has continued building strong partnerships with high-profile customers on an international scale.
Testament to Avvio’s growth is Ice House Hotel and Spa, a member of Ireland’s Blue Book – a collection of Irish hotels and country houses. Avvio’s in-house design team and digital marketing experts created and optimized a new website, mirroring the hotel’s location and architecture. This September, Ice House Hotel received the award for Ireland’s Best Hotel Website in the Hotel and Catering Review Gold Medal Awards, demonstrating the positive partnership with Avvio.
In September, Avvio was also appointed to manage the digital development for the launch of Grand Central Hotel in Belfast, part of the Hastings Hotels Group and the largest and most expensively constructed hotel project ever seen in Northern Ireland. The team was tasked with raising brand awareness online and driving direct bookings. The result was a fully optimized, vibrant and contemporary website, supporting the ethos of the hotel, as well as boosting guest engagement and complementing its modern simplicity and style.
Hannah Corbett, group digital strategist at Hastings Hotels, said: “Since we’ve started working with Avvio, our online presence has really started to develop and grow. We feel confident that the team at Avvio believe in the ethos of Grand Central and wider Hastings Hotels Group, ensuring we have everything in place to drive online bookings through our website. We’re continuing to work closely with the team at Avvio to achieve our goals and objectives, building our brand awareness online and drive bookings across the group.”
Another new customer is the luxury Forbes 5 Star Faena Hotel Miami Beach. Rachel Hofer, director of revenue management at Faena Hotel, said: “We wanted to ensure our new booking engine would uphold a luxurious experience while maximizing revenue and creating an enjoyable booking path for the consumer. We have already seen a significant uplift in direct online revenue, and with the partnership we have created with our Avvio e-commerce manager, we are excited to continue to watch this channel grow.”
Adding to the successful month, Avvio was named a finalist at the Google Premier Partner Awards; only two per cent of agencies within the EMEA region reach the finals. The shortlisting reflects the globally recognized video campaigns and online strategies that have been developed with the Killarney Park Hotel.
