Mark Simpson is founder of Boostly, the leading website design agency and online training academy that gives short-term rental hosts the tools, tactics, and training to boost their profits through direct booking. Born in Scarborough, Mark grew up immersed in the hospitality industry - most notably his family farm accommodation business - and went on to kick-start his marketing career in Hamburg, with a Web 2.0 company focused on social networking and local reviews. Mark’s experience in the hospitality industry coupled with marketing expertise fueled the creation of Boostly. Mark also runs Boostly Academy, the world’s largest community for short stay accommodation owners; his mission is to help one million hosts and property management companies cut down on their over reliance on OTA’s.
Boostly recently celebrated a big milestone in its brand mission. This year, the company has generated £2.5m for its clients through Boostly websites - over double the amount it set out to achieve by end of the year.
