Renee Herron, Director of Marketing at Noble House Hotels and current customer of Revinate, stated, “Revinate has changed how we approach our direct channel. We have lots of systems and stakeholders to aggregate in order to be effective. It’s key that our data is accessible and that we can understand our performance. Without that, we can’t grow. Revinate has made all of this possible.”
