About Liftly
About the Founder
After 30 years building marketing programs for luxury resorts, digital agencies, and consumer lifestyle brands, and managing over $1 billion in paid media, I kept watching many hospitality operators make the same expensive mistakes.
My background includes executive leadership roles at Wyndham Resorts, East West Resorts, and Wpromote, as well as serving as the former CEO of JUICE, a digital agency. Over three decades in digital marketing, I have developed deep roots in hospitality, eCommerce, and performance marketing across North America and beyond.
Why I Built Liftly
I did not build Liftly to compete with big agencies. I built it to give independent hospitality operators the same caliber of strategic thinking without the $15,000 monthly retainer or the grueling six-week onboarding process.
Traditional, high-level marketing strategies typically take 80 to 100 hours of intensive manual labor and carry a massive price tag. I realized that by productizing my proprietary executive discovery process into a data-driven diagnostic platform, I could eliminate that friction entirely for the small operator.
By answering five steps of focused operational questions, our software maps your metrics against 30 years of hospitality best practices. The result is a custom, business-specific, software-enabled plan delivered to your inbox in 48 hours. It tells you exactly what to do, in what order, and with what tools, based entirely on your actual data.
What “CMO-Reviewed” Actually Means
Every Liftly plan is generated from your diagnostic inputs, then reviewed by me personally before it reaches your inbox.
Our proprietary software handles the heavy lifting, processing your metrics into a comprehensive 25-slide blueprint covering pre-arrival digital touchpoints, client journey automation, and channel optimization. I then personally step in to audit the final strategy. I check for absolute industry accuracy, property-type relevance, prioritization logic, and tone.
The software builds the framework, but I make sure it is right for your business before you execute it.
