Norman Consultants recruits Chief Marketing Officers and senior marketing leaders for hospitality businesses — the executives who turn a brand into demand and a guest into a returning one.
Marketing in hospitality is unusually broad. The CMO owns brand and positioning, but also direct booking and distribution, loyalty, the digital guest journey, and increasingly the data that ties them together. In a category where major distribution channels can belong to third parties, the marketing leader who can grow direct demand and deepen the guest relationship protects both margin and brand.
We recruit marketing leaders who understand the commercial weight the role carries in hospitality — the interplay of brand, revenue, distribution, and experience — and who can lead across marketing, digital, and loyalty without losing the warmth that defines a hospitality brand.
