ABOUT LOIC ROBERTSON

A highly experienced CMO specialising in Digital Transformation, Digital Marketing, eCommerce and User Experience in the luxury travel sector.At Cruise.co.uk I led a digital transformation project which included the launch of a new online-only, full ecommerce brand delivering almost £100m of incremental revenue in three years. Previously at Audley Travel, I defined and delivered the Digital and Marketing Strategy over almost 15 years - a key factor in growing the business from £15m turnover in 2004 to £412m in 2019. In that time, I recruited and developed a team of over 45 in the UK and US to deliver across all digital and marketing channels including the website, UX optimisation, PPC and multi-channel digital advertising, SEO, CRM.I played a pivotal role in taking the business through a management buyout with Equistone and again in 2015 through a subsequent private equity investment with 3i.Technically-savvy and not afraid to be \'hands-on\', I am proficient in leading both digital and traditional marketing campaigns with particular focus on digital marketing and strategy. I am comfortable working and communicating at all levels, from Board to team, and I am especially good at leading and motivating high performance teams.I\'m often told I\'m genuine, loyal and sociable. I particularly enjoy music (making and listening), skiing, padel and mountain biking.
