Matt has been with Charlestowne for almost 10 years, but his resume showcases a wealth of experience beyond his work with the management company. Career highlights include coordinating the closing, liquidation, and re-opening of The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville while aiding the management of an $18 million renovation of guest rooms and public areas. He also played an instrumental role in developing various elevated assets for the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, including the construction of the on-site Sanctuary Hotel and Ocean Course Clubhouse.

CHARLESTON, S.C. –Charlestowne Hotels elevates the standards of hospitality management through its fully-integrated strategic marketing division, a specialized service not typically offered by third-party management companies.

Charlestowne’s in-house team operates like its own creative agency, handling all aspects of marketing across its growing portfolio of more than 50 hotels. Bundling together key services that oftentimes require hoteliers to work with several outside vendors, hoteliers are immediately provided with a robust arsenal of tools. This includes strategic planning, project management, print and digital media development, paid media management, CRM & email deployment, analytics reporting and a suite of creative services (graphic design, production/fulfillment, photography/videography). In fact, compared to third-party agency contracts, the properties in Charlestowne’s portfolio – which include lifestyle, adaptive reuse, collegiate and condo hotels – benefit from significant financial savings due to the company’s integrated marketing division. No other management company provides such comprehensive marketing services under one roof.

Through its strategic marketing division, Charlestowne is further supporting its mission as an operations-led management company. General managers and on-site hotel operators are empowered to focus on elevating on-site programming, staff culture and the personalized guest experience, while Charlestowne’s marketing team handles future promotional planning and activation work designed to raise each property’s profile among key markets. The marketing team’s position within the corporate office also enables them to work directly with revenue managers and adjust the promotional strategy in real time as revenue forecasts change.

“Creating an in-house agency culture is an incredibly difficult task for independent-centric management companies,” says Michael Cady, Vice President of Marketing for Charlestowne Hotels, whose previous experience includes more than two decades in marketing and advertising within agency and corporate environments. “We’ve invested in building a powerhouse team of talented and entrepreneurial specialists who are driven by ROI and executing on campaigns that increase top line revenue for our hotels. By creating this specialized department within our corporate office, we’re consistently able to fire on all cylinders of marketing, which enables our on-site team to focus on creating memorable guest experiences.”

Committed to a bespoke model of management, Charlestowne Hotels develops unique marketing plans for all 50+ hotels in its portfolio based on each hotel’s individual identity and needs. The company’s reputation for creative brand building has extended to full brand development projects. In the last three years alone, the marketing team has conceptualized more than 20+ new hotels, 40+ websites and 15+ F&B concepts from scratch – inclusive of brand identity, imagery, logo and design development – providing each asset with its own personality that distinguishes it from other competitors in their respective markets. These services, along with the company’s full menu of integrated marketing services, ensure Charlestowne’s clients receive industry-leading output and savings.
