Conversations Brewing This February

Dear {{contact.first_name}},
February continues to unfold, shaped by thoughtful conversations and early-stage ideas.
We’ve been deep in discussions around unique stays for an upcoming book project, exploring places that offer more than just a room for the night. These are spaces with stories built into their walls, landscapes, and experiences. It’s been energizing to connect with property owners who see storytelling as part of how they welcome guests.
At the same time, work behind the scenes continues on several long-term projects that focus on clarity, education, and meaningful engagement.
Sometimes progress is quiet. Sometimes it looks like research, refinement, and patient conversations. And often, that’s where the strongest foundations are built.
With curiosity,
Bibi

Unique Stays conversation
We’re excited to share that the Unique Stays Around the World™ project is officially underway, starting with the U.S. and North America.
This series focuses on places that are experiences in themselves, think glamping, Earthships, treehouses, converted structures, and other one-of-a-kind stays that tell a story through how they’re built, where they’re located, and how people experience them. This is not about luxury or boutique labels, but about places that spark curiosity and invite a different way of staying.
We already have our first sign-ups, and conversations are continuing with unique stay owners who see storytelling as part of their guest experience, not just a marketing add-on.

The Love Factor in Marketing: Turning Brand
Messages into Experiences People Keep

This month’s blog looks at why people hold on to certain brand experiences long after the first interaction. It explores how emotion, education, and thoughtful design turn messages into something people actually want to revisit and share.

Good marketing is a lot like good coffee.
It is not rushed. It is intentional. And when done well, people come back for it again and again.
The goal is not speed or volume, but creating an experience worth savoring.
As February moves along, I keep noticing how often meaningful ideas begin in the same way, through conversation, curiosity, and the willingness to slow down and really listen. Whether it’s a meeting, a creative exchange, or a simple moment of reflection, those quieter starting points tend to shape the work that matters most.
I’m looking forward to sharing where these conversations lead.
With inspiration,
