The challenge

  • Paid search
  • Paid social
  • SEO

Glenapp Castle, a luxury five-star destination, required a digital strategy that could effectively reach and convert a high-value, often international audience.

Paid activity lacked the structure and scale required to fully capitalise on high-intent searches, while social media presented untapped potential as a driver of both awareness and direct bookings. Digital activity also needed to reflect the premium nature of the brand.

How we did it

The engagement began with a full audit of paid media and SEO activity. Initial work focused on restructuring paid search campaigns, ensuring better alignment with high-intent queries and improving overall performance.

Paid social was then introduced as a key channel, with campaigns designed to showcase the unique experience of Glenapp Castle. Through ongoing creative testing and audience refinement, engagement and traffic increased significantly.

SEO improvements strengthened organic visibility, and activity has been scaled across paid search and paid social with continuous optimisation.
