Engagement Model
Engagements are structured according to scope and complexity. Each partnership begins with a clear outline of responsibilities and expectations.
Air Travel - Individual flight bookings are structured on a per-ticket basis.
Internal Team Hotel Bookings - Hotel-only team travel is typically handled without additional planning fees.
Strategic Advisory - Contract review, negotiation support and destination strategy are available as standalone project-based engagements.
Executive Travel - For ongoing travel needs, we offer retainer engagements billed monthly with a six-month minimum.
Project-Based - Experiential events, brand activations, retreats and hosted gatherings involving research, negotiation and coordination are structured project engagements.
Travel is infrastructure. When it’s managed well, everything else runs smoother.
