Case Study — Brand & Digital

Built the entire commercial system behind Scottish Luxury Experience — a new luxury Scotland concierge brand we hold equity in. A demand engine, a behavioural CRM, a reveal-call sales process, and a custom AI proposal engine. $521k won in less than seven months from launch.

The Challenge

Become the most reputed Scottish travel operator in less than 12 months.

Three founders with deep Scottish heritage, premium product, and a serious supplier network. No marketing pipeline, no CRM, no sales process, no operational tooling. The constraint that shaped everything: a brand selling £15k–£100k bespoke trips cannot afford to feel mass-market at any touchpoint — including the proposal that lands in a client's inbox.

The Approach

Treat the whole brand as a system. Build every layer before scaling any of it.

We sequenced it deliberately. Brand and destination first. Then a demand layer built around cinematic Scotland, not tourism cliché. Then a CRM designed around the actual sales motion, with behavioural intelligence on every interaction. And finally the part that matters most — a custom application that turns a planner's source material into a fully personalised, branded client proposal in under a minute, editable by the salesperson in plain English. The brand now operates with a sophistication its first-year size shouldn't allow. The team spends its time on the parts only humans can do.

The REsults

The Outcome

The only remaining limit on this brand is operational capacity.

Acquisition is solved. Qualification is automated. Sales artefacts generate themselves. Booking and ops handoffs are wired end to end. What's left for the team is the work that should never be automated — taste, judgement, supplier relationships, the actual craft of designing a great trip. The brand is on track for £5m by the end of 2026, on margin profile that lets the founders reinvest in fleet, vehicles, and senior planners rather than backfilling the systems work that used to consume them.

I have an obvious bias here (Latitude Haus are partners in this business, not just our growth agency), so weight this however you want.

But I sit in the operations every day. What Flynn and his team have built into Scottish Luxury Experience is the difference between us being a small concierge and being a credible category competitor in our first year. We didn't hire six full-time growth, ops, and engineering people. We didn't need to. The whole stack is already there, and it's still getting sharper.

If you're a serious travel brand wondering what a real growth partner looks like — this is what we picked, and we picked it with our own money on the table.
