Lodging Interactive Celebrates 20 Years of Digital Success

Lodging Interactive, an award-winning digital marketing and social media engagement agency exclusively serving the hospitality industry celebrates its 20th anniversary. Lodging Interactive has been helping hundreds of hospitality customers since 2001 and the company shows no signs of slowing down as it continues its growth through ongoing diversification.

“August marks the month, 20 years ago, when we decided to launch Lodging Interactive and it’s hard to believe the business has grown from a blank sheet of paper to where it is today, a multi-million dollar successful enterprise employing many,” said DJ Vallauri, Lodging Interactive’s Founder and CEO. “I’m proud of our loyal customers and team members who have made Lodging Interactive such a success, as without them it would not have been possible.”

In 2007, Lodging Interactive launched Chatter Guard the hospitality industry’s first reputation management service. Initially designed to monitor and report on Tripadvisor review trends, the Chatter Guard service was expanded to include other OTA and review sites and in 2009 was relaunched as CoMMingle:Engage. Today, CoMMingle:Engage offers the hospitality industry’s premier social media marketing, engagement and reputation management services. Customer properties include hundreds of hotels, restaurants, spas, and management companies around the globe.

For the last 10 years, the company has continued to diversify its service offerings and today Lodging Interactive is positioned to serve the hospitality in various areas of digital marketing and customer engagement. Lodging Interactive brands include:

“Like every other travel related business, the global pandemic presented challenges we’ve had to deal with, but I’m pleased to report that our loyal team members and customers guided us through, and we’ve emerged stronger than ever," added Mr. Vallauri. “The future looks very exciting to us as we continue to build on the core business, we started 20 years ago.”
