We’re Passionate About Driving Growth.Woven into our fabric is a commitment to guide hotels with strategic sales, marketing and revenue management that help each property execute and grow with purpose.

Hotel Marketing Strategist (HMS) was founded on the belief that every hotel, regardless of size or budget, deserves the opportunity to thrive. We saw a gap in the market where boutique and independent hotels often lacked access to the specialized marketing and revenue management tools that larger chains enjoyed. We set out to change that.

Since 2009, we have brought big-brand knowledge to boutique hotels, independents, and villas. Our mission is to level the playing field by giving clients the tools and expertise to compete, thrive, and grow in a challenging hospitality landscape.
