When scaling a business, there's a common scenario that plays out far too often: Companies pour money into marketing campaigns, watching their impression numbers soar without seeing any tangible results. It's a story we've seen repeatedly at Pieo, and it raises an important question: Are we sometimes too focused on vanity metrics, and overlooking opportunities as a result?
In this episode, James and Andrew share their experiences of working with a boutique Hotel in Sri Lanka who were facing challenges with customer acquisition, and discuss how they embraced Third-Party distribution to drive revenue growth.
