Our founders, Salim Virani and Chris Anders, saw the need for a multidisciplinary team of consultants that were focused and specialised, and committed to niche sectors.
Salim co-founded Hotelicom, a leading IT provider for Canadian hotels and number of other successful tech startups. He not only built the digital and online marketing capabilities of JWT into one of the Top 10 Interactive Agencies, but also enabled it to overachieve its targets on campaigns for Nestle and Scott Paper.
Chris is a web consultant with extensive experience of providing business analysis and strategy development for a number of top City law firms, such as Baker & McKenzie, Freshfields and Norton Rose.
They also recognised the need for a strategic consultancy that is constantly looking ahead to identify new opportunities and threats presented by technology.
Between them they have a first-hand understanding of hotel marketing across 3* to 5* hotels, a reputation for delivering technology solutions for the travel market, and an equally solid reputation for creating marketing solutions for global brands and medium-sized businesses.
