Meet Jon Kreye, a professional creator and community builder in the short-term rental space. 

Jon has become a prominent figure in this niche, known not just for his stunning content but also for fostering a supportive community among hospitality creators. 

Jon recently hosted his fourth creator retreat in partnership with Nikki & Hayden from Journey More, where they brought together influencers and content creators to share ideas, collaborate, and discuss industry trends.

In this conversion, Jon talks about the evolution of creators in the Airbnb and greater hospitality space, the challenges and opportunities within the creator economy, and the importance of professionalizing the role of hospitality content creators. 

He shares insights on how creators can differentiate themselves, the significance of setting professional standards, how hosts and vacation rental managers can best engage with creators and the strategies that help separate the best creators from the rest of the pack.

Discover how Jon and his peers are navigating the complexities of pricing, the value of collaboration over competition, and the exciting potential for partnerships with hospitality brands. Whether you're a property manager looking to enhance your marketing or a creator seeking tangible ideas for how to grow your business, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable takeaways.
