Superior Small Lodging Assn Hires Gilda Steiger as Director of Marketing
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) February 27, 2015 -- The Superior Small Lodging Association (SSL) announced today that they have partnered with Gilda Steiger, president of GNE Consultants…Online Marketing Solutions to lead the Marketing Advisory Committee as the Director of Marketing.
Ms. Steiger is a marketing professional specializing in marketing hotels and travel related businesses since the beginning of digital marketing in the travel/hospitality industry in 1997. In that year she co- founded MAD-Search (Meeting and Destination Search) the first destination based online searchable database of hotels that gave meeting planners information and contact information for hotels that met their meeting space criteria, and the corresponding e-newsletter MAD-News. Ms. Steiger became the Director of Hospitality Marketing at Cendyn, a full service digital marketing company specializing in online solutions for the travel and hospitality industry. She left Cendyn in 2012 to form her own consulting agency, GNE Consulting…Online Marketing Solutions.
Ms. Steiger’s goal is to brand the Superior Small Lodging properties as the welcome alternative to the impersonal, large chain hotels, so that when visitors think of a trip to Florida the members of SSL and the new SSL website is top of mind. She has also taken the lead on the transition to the new Superior Small Lodging website which will include a booking engine to enable visitors to book member properties directly from the association website.
“We’re thrilled to have Gilda and her team at GNE Consulting working on our behalf” , states Scott Rivelli, Executive Director of SSL, “with Gilda’s marketing talent and expertise we expect to be able to take the Superior Small Lodging Association to a much higher level.”
