Cartesian is a hospitality and tourism marketing agency that works as an integrated revenue partner for brands across North America. We diagnose, prescribe, and implement data-driven creative solutions, and we set our KPIs on nothing but revenue.
We focus solely on hospitality and tourism: hotels and resorts, hospitality management groups, restaurants, attractions, entertainment and experiential venues, and travel brands. Because it's all we do, we already understand how your guests book, what drives your revenue, and where marketing budgets tend to go to waste.
Most agencies set KPIs around anything BUT revenue: impressions, reach, engagement. We set ours on NOTHING but revenue. We work as an integrated partner. We set revenue benchmarks alongside executive leadership, review and allocate budget before a campaign launches, and manage everything from start to finish, so every result ties back to revenue.
Cartesian is based in Canada and partners with hospitality and tourism brands across North America, including the United States, as well as internationally.
Hospitality and tourism brands that want their marketing measured by revenue, and whose leadership is ready to treat their agency as a true partner. We're selective about who we work with, which is a big part of why 90% of our customers re-sign with us.
Yes. Our portfolio includes real campaigns, commercial productions, and case studies from hospitality and tourism brands, along with the results behind them.
It means we don't just run ads or produce content and send a report. We work alongside executive leadership, set revenue targets together, and take responsibility for the full campaign: diagnosis, budget allocation, creative, execution, and reporting.
Every partnership follows three stages.
• Diagnose: We audit your data, marketing, brand, and budget to find where revenue is being lost, then set benchmarks with executive leadership.
• Prescribe: We build a tactical architecture plan and allocate budget where it will drive the strongest return.
• Implement: We execute the campaign from start to finish and tie every result back to revenue.
Revenue results depend on alignment at the top. When leadership is on board and we can manage the campaign from start to finish, budget, creative, and execution all work toward the same goal. Without that, we can't guarantee revenue results, so it's where every partnership begins.
Always. No two diagnoses are the same, so no two campaigns are either. Every strategy is built around your revenue goals, your guests, and your brand. No templates.
Yes. We set benchmarks together with executive leadership and bring your team into briefs, creative reviews, and approvals. You'll always know what we're doing and why.
We choose solutions based on what the diagnosis reveals. They include:
• Revenue and marketing diagnosis
• Budget review and allocation
• AI-driven booking attribution
• Website re-development
• Brand diagnosis and positioning
• Organic and paid social media
• Influencer activations
• Creative strategy
• Photo, video, and drone production
• Audio branding and jingles
• Consumer sentiment strategy
• Guest experience direction
Yes, depending on the results of a market orientation study. We can share case studies showing how we've tracked stronger attribution to direct bookings and eliminated leakage in the attribution funnel.
Yes. Our in-house team includes directors, photographers, drone pilots, and editors for end-to-end commercial production, plus audio branding and original jingles.
Yes. We build organic growth strategies, paid campaigns, and influencer activations, all measured against the same thing: revenue.
By revenue. We track bookings, reservations, and revenue against the benchmarks set with executive leadership at the start. Traffic and engagement only matter when they lead to revenue.
Regular updates and dashboards showing revenue, bookings, and return on ad spend, along with the insights behind the numbers and what we're adjusting next.
We set agreements for a minimum of 12 months. That gives us the time to diagnose, implement, and optimize against your revenue benchmarks. Our diagnosis also sets clear timelines up front, so you know what to expect and when.
With executive buy-in and the ability to manage the campaign from start to finish, our campaigns consistently meet, and often exceed, revenue targets. Without those conditions, we can't guarantee revenue results, which is why we're selective about the partners we take on.
For integrated campaigns, the minimum engagement with Cartesian is $150,000. For solo campaigns, our minimum investment is $50,000. Both minimums exclude media buy and production spend. Because we review and allocate budget as part of our diagnosis, we'll recommend a spend based on what it will take to hit your revenue targets.
Yes. We partner with hospitality management groups, owners, and operators, whether you manage a single property or a full portfolio.
Yes. We collaborate closely with in-house marketing, sales, and revenue management teams. To stay accountable for revenue, we manage the campaign from start to finish, so we define roles clearly from day one.
