Background

Campo Novo Hotels is a growing hospitality brand specializing in aparthotels and serviced apartments across Germany. Part of the P+B Group, Campo Novo has established itself as a successful business accommodation provider with multiple properties in key German business centers including Eschborn, Freiburg, and other strategic locations. The brand is known for its intelligent room concepts, high-quality furnishings with smart kitchens, modern bathrooms, and balconies, as well as individually selectable services.

Campo Novo's business model caters primarily to corporate travelers and extended-stay guests, offering a blend of hotel convenience and apartment living. Their properties are strategically located in business parks and areas with outstanding transport connections, making them ideal for business travelers. With a focus on providing comfortable, functional, and well-equipped accommodations, Campo Novo has built a reputation for quality service in the business hospitality sector.

Despite their growing physical presence and quality accommodations, Campo Novo Hotels faced challenges in establishing a strong digital presence in an increasingly competitive hospitality market. As more business travelers turned to online channels to research and book accommodations, there was a pressing need for Campo Novo to enhance their digital marketing strategy to increase visibility, attract more direct bookings, and reduce dependency on third-party booking platforms.
