Instagram Story Save

Imagine a stunning piece of professional photography featuring a pristine beach, still water and an elegant travel brand’s logo placed nicely in the frame, likely resembling your dream destination.

Not too long ago, this was referred to as “top-of-funnel.” The hope was that this scene would inspire the consumer to book a journey. Today, marketers recognize that this leads the customer…nowhere.

Our latest white paper digs into how travel and hospitality brands can no longer rely on the funnel, but must understand the looping, nonlinear path that now defines the customer journey.

A special thank you to Alicia Corbett for sharing insights drawn from years of experience working with travel and hospitality brands, and to the many Pace team members who generously contributed their expertise to this work.

Last week, we attended Insurance Innovators in Nashville, and it really narrowed our focused on what’s happening in the insurance industry right now. The conversations centered around proactivity, rather than reactivity. The next era of marketing goes beyond promoting products, and instead, enables resilience. It’s the insurers that create value before a claim ever happens that will build deeper relationships and long-term competitive advantage. Swipe through to see our biggest takeaways from the sessions.

Today’s traveler journey happens in loops. Social, search, review sites, booking platforms, brand channels—travelers are moving in and out of consideration at every stage.

In this customer journey defined by constant movement, content becomes the connective layer; it becomes a brand’s competitive edge. It’s how travelers experience a brand long before booking and long after the trip ends.

For travel and hospitality brands, this shift has changed everything. Rather than be confined to the top of the funnel, content is now a key driver of engagement and decision-making throughout the entire journey.

At Pace, we’re exploring how journey-based thinking is reshaping travel marketing and what brands can do to stay relevant. Read more at paceco.com/our-insights/.

Imagine your customer comes across your destination video on social. It sparks inspiration: their next trip, right at their fingertips.

But then they browse a competitor’s content. Then your website. Then a third-party travel agency to book. Your content started the journey…but did it finish it?

The traditional funnel in the travel and hospitality industry once gave marketers a clear path from awareness to booking. Today, that journey is anything but linear. It’s fragmented, dynamic and shaped by content at every step.

Here at Pace, we’re discussing how brands can adjust to this new shift. Read more of our insights at paceco.com/our-insights/.

Last week, Chief Growth Officer Rosemary Calderone and Managing Director Lori Beal attended POSSIBLE Miami 2026. For an industry that moves fast, the biggest opportunity still lies in a sharper focus (and not in constant reinvention).

Across sessions and conversations, from content to culture, the themes felt less like net-new ideas and more like a call for clarity and follow-through.

We’ve been on the move lately, attending conferences and diving deep into the industry.

Chief Growth Officer Rosemary Calderone and Managing Director Lori Beal are practically conference aficionados at this point, so we checked in to see the essentials that keep them going.

We have several more events coming up and we’d love to see you there. If you’d like to grab coffee or dinner with us while we’re in town, schedule a meeting with us at hello@paceco.com.

Insurance Innovators // Nashville, TN // May 11–16
ANA Masters of B2B Marketing // Chicago, IL // Jun 3–5
Gartner Marketing Symposium/Xpo // Denver, CO // June 8–10

If there’s an audience, we know how to move them with content.

“Audience” is never one-size-fits-all. B2B, B2C, B2B2C, or B2E, each comes with distinct motivations and decision drivers.

We build content ecosystems grounded in a deep understanding of who we’re speaking to and what matters most to them, so every message is designed to drive meaningful action that goes beyond capturing attention.

Real impact starts with knowing your audience, and knowing what moves them.

Content moves people. And in the spirit of moving people, Pace people are making their way to Miami, Chicago and Denver over the coming months to talk about how content moves audiences to feel, think and act—moving businesses forward.

Find us at the following conferences, and if you’d like to grab coffee or dinner with us while we’re in town, schedule a meeting with us at hello@paceco.com.

Possible // Miami, FL // April 27–29
ANA Masters of B2B Marketing // Chicago, IL // Jun 3–5
Gartner Marketing Symposium/Xpo // Denver, CO // June 8–10
Digital Summit // Denver, CO // June 15–16

If there was one takeaway from Digital Summit Chicago, it’s this: content isn’t dead.

From Jenny Haggard’s insights about audio to David Shing’s look into human-first storytelling, it was clear that content is still king and it’s evolving faster (and louder) than ever.

At Pace, we talk a lot about fueling engagement and this week reinforced that engagement doesn’t come from more content. It comes from better storytelling.
