Case Study: AvantStay achieves 3.5M+ influencer reach and booking growth with ACTIVATE

Driving bookings through organic influencer engagement

AvantStay, a luxury group‑travel startup, partnered with ACTIVATE to boost brand education and organic social traction through influencer storytelling. Facing the need to communicate AvantStay’s differentiation, amenities and value while growing followers and driving qualified booking traffic, they engaged ACTIVATE to identify and manage influencers and orchestrate authentic content campaigns.

ACTIVATE used ACTIVATE Discover to find relevant creators and ACTIVATE Collaborations to manage bookings and content creation, securing influencers to stay at a Temecula property and promote a $250 promo code. The campaign delivered 3.5M+ combined reach, 415K+ Instagram post likes, 3K Instagram Story sticker taps and 20 bookings attributed to social, with strong positive sentiment; all activity and click traffic were tracked via the ACTIVATE platform.
