    Hospitality MetaSearch Show 6

    In the spirit of thinking ahead to the new year, this week’s podcast takes a look at how metasearch is inspiring tomorrow’s digital leaders. Inspired by a Koddi article from 2018, I talk about how the role of “metasearch manager” requires a skill set beyond that of a typical digital marketer. We know the lines between revenue management, marketing, sales, and reservation managers were already getting blurry prior to the pandemic. Today, the lines have often been completely erased, resulting in the need for everyone to add new tools to their tool belt. The 6th episode of our Heavy Meta podcast focuses on the skill sets needed to become an effective metasearch manager.

    "Why is MetaSearch So Important?" In this inaugural episode of the Heavy-Meta podcast we start off with an overview of why meta is such a big deal these days. Each episode will also feature some myth-busting, and today we address the myth that metasearch only provides channel shift rather than new business.
