Turning data into action and experience.

How Warner Hotels turned guest data into real-time action across conversion, value and loyalty.

Warner Hotels·Matthew Webb·3 minutes read·Jan 2025

Warner Hotels wanted to understand what drives guest loyalty and value. The blocker was clarity. There was plenty of data, but insight arrived too late or too fragmented to act on.

The challenge

Marketing, operations and guest teams all worked hard, yet insight reached them too slowly to shape action. There was no connected view of the guest to plan against.

What we did

Octagon Square partnered with Warner to bring focus, foresight and connection, turning guest data into understanding the business could act on in real time. We built a set of insight-powered tools and models that now guide daily decisions.

What we built

  • Behavioural booking model: forecast booking frequency and flagged when guests were becoming more or less active, so the team could adjust campaigns mid-year.
  • Predictive LTV model: identified the traits of the most valuable guests, those who booked early, stayed longer and spent more on-site, and rebalanced marketing toward them.
  • AI-driven feedback platform: analysed sentiment and context in near real time, so teams could act faster on emerging issues.

The results

  • 20% lift in conversion from mid-year campaign adjustments.
  • 15% uplift in high-value guest acquisition, with improved profitability.
  • 10% rise in bar spend, alongside higher NPS and happier guests.
  • A single connected view of the guest guiding daily decisions.

“Octagon Square didn’t just talk analytics, they made it work. They cut through the clutter, giving us clear, actionable insights that delivered real value.”

David Murdin, CMO, Warner Hotels
