Holgates


Industry Sector: Holiday Parks

About


Holgates Holiday Parks aren’t just for holidays, they’re a way of life. Whether you buy, hire, tour, glamp or camp you’ll find yourself coming back for more. Their 6 parks are based in North Lancashire and South Cumbria. Holgates take pride in having customers that have been coming back for over 60 years to enjoy the fabulous scenery, outstanding facilities and relaxed lifestyle.

My Role


In 2015 SMART Marketing was asked by Holgate’s owner to provide in house marketing training to their existing small team. Having 8 years marketing experience in a similar sector in house this was an ideal fit. Core focus was on their digital strategy, social channels and new website build. Now this extends to a monthly retained service providing marketing support and strategy guidance to their 6 holiday parks.
