CASE STUDY

Savoy

Background

Savoy Hotel Apartments are situated in 4 locations across Dubai, namely Savoy Suites, Savoy Crest, Savoy Park and Savoy Central.

Savoy approached Nexa in June 2018 for marketing services. Savoy’s marketing efforts were previously limited to affiliate marketing, offline advertising, and email marketing to existing databases. Additionally, 2019 saw the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the tourism/hospitality industry, which caused additional challenges for Savoy, including widespread cancellations due to travel restrictions.

Savoy had a small marketing budget at the time. While Dubai-based properties were susceptible to challenging market conditions, competition for affordable accommodation in the city had increased and rates had decreased, Savoy wanted to work with an experienced growth marketing agency like Nexa to help them unlock revenue opportunities using innovative digital marketing strategies.
