Guest experience design

For health, wellness and tourism brands that want guests to return.

Get a Quote

The booking gets all the attention. What happens after often gets none.

Marketing promises one thing, the experience delivers another, and the relationship quietly ends at checkout. The guest leaves happy enough, but rarely comes back or tells a friend.

We design the whole journey as one, so the story your marketing tells is the experience your guests receive, and the reason they return.

Every moment is part of the experience.

Your guests don’t see departments. To them, it’s all you.

The difference

What changes when the experience is designed

01

A promise you deliver on, every time

What you promise online is what guests feel when they arrive. We design the experience to deliver on every promise your marketing makes, so the words, the welcome and the follow-up all feel like you, and trust builds at every step.

02

A journey that doesn't stop at the sale

The booking is the beginning, not the finish line. We design what happens before, during and long after, so guests feel looked after the whole way through.

03

Growth you can see, built on return and referral

When guests come back and bring others with them, growth becomes steadier and less reliant on paid reach. We measure it, so you can see it working.

How we think

Care and commerce are often treated as opposites. We design for both.

In health, wellness and tourism, there’s a tension few people talk about. You got into this work to look after people, and selling can feel at odds with that. But a business that doesn’t book, retain and grow can’t keep caring for anyone.

So every project holds both sides.

Heart-led thinking protects the feeling of your brand and the care in every moment.

Commercial thinking makes sure that care turns into bookings, return visits and referrals.

The result is care and commerce in harmony at every turn: an experience that feels generous to your guests and keeps your business healthy.

Our signature SET Approach is how we bring the two together.

Strategy + Experience + Transformation = Trust

Guest experience review

An honest look at your guest journey as it stands today, from first impression to follow-up, with clear priorities on what to fix first.

Guest and brand strategy

Get clear on who you serve, what they need and the value only you offer. Includes guest profiles, positioning, value proposition and brand voice.

Customer journey mapping

We map every touchpoint, from first scroll to long after they’ve been with you: anticipation, arrival, the experience itself and the return. You’ll see exactly where guests feel looked after, and where they quietly drop away.

Integrated marketing campaigns

Launches, programs, ongoing engagements and seasonal campaigns planned across every channel, built to support specific commercial outcomes, not vanity metrics.

02

Experience

Design every touchpoint with care.

Content engine

Content and communications across digital, social, email, print and onsite, planned and systemised so your voice shows up consistently without taking over your week.

Experience and event design

Programs, workshops, launches and events, in person and online. We design the flow, the pacing and the moments people remember, and can support delivery on the day.

Guest experience design

Personalised experiences across every stage: the welcome, onboarding, arrival, the space itself and the small details in between.

Tools, systems and team training

CRM, booking and email automation, templates, scripts and standards, plus team training, so every touchpoint feels consistent, intentional and customised.

03

Transformation

Create the conditions for lasting change.

A calm lifestyle moment at home

Follow-through design

Personalised and designed check-ins, next steps and referral pathways after the program or stay, so the good work you do keeps going once guests are home.

Community building

Alumni and member communities, webinars and gatherings that give guests a place to belong and a reason to come back.

Measurement and insights

Feedback loops, before-and-after measures, reviews and reporting, so you can show real results rather than simply claim them, and know what to create next.

How we work

Three ways to work together

Strategy intensive

A focused session or short sprint to get clear and leave with a plan.

Project

A defined piece of work, from a journey map to a full program or event.

Partnership

Ongoing support across strategy, experience and follow-through.

Sparkle Well School · The M Factor screening

Filling a theatre with a community that wanted to talk.

A one-off screening of The M Factor became a sold-out evening. We shaped the event, the content and the conversation around it, so the room arrived ready to connect and left wanting more.

Inside Polished Byron Bay

Polished Byron Bay · Brand and guest experience

From busy nail salon to holistic wellness spa.

Founder Amy Phipps had a loyal local following but no time to reposition the business for its next chapter. We redesigned the brand, website, treatment menu and loyalty program around conscious beauty and self-care, so clients now see Polished as a destination, not just a salon.

Gullivers Australia group travel

Gullivers Australia · Marketing function

Building a marketing function from the ground up.

A group travel company with more than 40 years of trust had no dedicated marketing function and no clear path from interest to booking. We delivered a new brand, an eCommerce website, a centralised CRM and an owned-media journal, then handed over a plan for its next phase of growth.
