HOSPITALItY
IS IN OUR DNA
I built my career leading marketing inside hospitality and gaming, where the pace was fast, the expectations were high, and every campaign had to show up in the numbers. I started Golden Hour Co. in Las Vegas to bring that same standard to the brands I love most, and San Diego is full of them: hotels and resorts from the Gaslamp to the coast, and the restaurants and spas guests plan their stay around.
San Diego hotels sell to two crowds. Travelers book the beaches, the Gaslamp and the big convention weeks months ahead, and locals and drive-in guests from LA and Arizona fill the getaways, staycations, brunches and spa days in between. The best hotels here know who they're selling to each week, and so do our plans.
Today I lead strategy alongside an in-house team of strategists, photographers, designers, content creators and paid media and SEO specialists. We already work with San Diego brands, we're a short flight away for shoots and strategy days, and we measure everything against what matters to you: reservations, bookings, leads and revenue.
OUR WORK
21% more guests than the year before
Six months into working with us, Wilfred's Lounge in Napa had 21% more guests than the year before and $107,867 in private event requests, with Meta ads sending event planners straight to its private events page.
A local restaurant on Eater's best new list, next to global names
Seven months after opening, Taste of Gujarat was named one of Eater Las Vegas's 18 Best New Restaurants in Las Vegas, on the same list as global restaurant brands. We built its brand, website and launch plan, including an opening-day gold bar giveaway the Review-Journal covered in September 2025.

Who we work with
in SAN DIEGO
Hospitality is where we grew up, so we know this work from the inside, from the promotions calendar to the event lineup. Most of our clients work with us month after month, and that includes the San Diego brands we partner with today.
-
Direct bookings, summer peak, convention weeks, staycation packages, weddings and group business, plus the restaurant, rooftop and spa on property, all mapped out across the whole year.
-
Your regulars, the weekend brunch crowd, private dining, seasonal menus and busiest nights, planned and run by one team every month.
-
Casino promotions, event programming, entertainment and guest loyalty all year long, planned by people who've run them from the inside.
-
Memberships, treatment launches, seasonal offers and rebooking, managed month after month.
-
Membership drives and lead campaigns that run every month, for boutique studios and franchise groups.
-
Content, creator partnerships, launches and drops on a steady monthly rhythm, for local and online brands.
TRUSTED BY
Questions we hear
all the time
What San Diego owners usually ask us before we get started. If yours isn't here, bring it to the call.
-
We do. We partner with San Diego brands today, and our Las Vegas headquarters is a short flight away, so we're there in person for shoots, tastings and strategy days whenever your plan calls for them.
-
Most of our clients partner with us on a monthly package, because the best results come from staying consistent. Pick Three is $3,500 a month, Foundations is $5,000 and Scale is $8,000. There's a one-time $500 onboarding fee, and we waive it when you start with 1:1 Consulting. If you'd like to get to know us first, the Golden Window is $4,000 for six weeks, and a 1:1 Consulting session with Danielle is $800. Ad spend is always separate, and you pay the platforms directly.
-
Absolutely, and we love a good deadline. The Golden Window gives you six weeks of our full team built around one date, whether it's an opening, a holiday or Comic-Con week. Bring the date to your strategy call and we'll map out the plan together. When it wraps, we'll talk about keeping that momentum going every month.
-
That's a big part of the plan. Your website, Google listing, social and paid media all point guests to book with you directly, and we plan for both crowds: travelers booking months ahead, and locals and drive-in guests looking for a getaway, a brunch or a spa day.
-
We do. We're a Yelp Ads partner agency, so your Yelp ads are planned right alongside your Google and Meta campaigns, with everything working toward the same goal.
-
We're excited to get to know you, your business and your goals. In 30 minutes, we'll talk through what's working, what's coming up on your calendar and exactly where we'd start.
