Four layers.One team.

Digital1010 served as the digital partner for Wekiva Island across a three-year engagement, leading a brand refresh, a multi-day production shoot, a custom site with booking and e-commerce, Hello Automations deployment, and ongoing daily operations.A one-off redesign wouldn't have solved the underlying problem. Fragmented visuals, a booking experience disconnected from the marketing experience, and no centralized system for guest inquiries, event reservations, or merchandise sales. The work was full-scope from the start.

INDEX · 02 · CHALLENGE
Why a redesign wouldn't cut it

Fragmented brand. Disconnected booking. No CRM spine.

Wekiva Island needed a partner who could take the brand from fragmented presentation to a cohesive, operationally functional system. The existing site didn't reflect the property's energy. The booking experience was disconnected from the marketing experience. There was no centralized system for managing guest inquiries, event reservations, or merchandise sales. A vendor could ship a redesign. The work needed an operator.

  • 01
    Visual system aligned to the destination, not a templated hospitality look. The character of the property had to drive the brand, not the other way around.
    Fragmented visuals across the existing site and collateral. The property has a specific energy; the presentation didn't carry it. The brand refresh had to be built on what Wekiva Island actually is, not on a theme.
  • 02
    One path from discovery to reservation. Replace disconnected booking tools with an integrated platform that handles bookings, event tickets, and merchandise in one flow.
    The booking experience lived apart from the marketing experience. Guests dropped between tools. The fix is a custom site where the reservation path is part of the brand, not a handoff to a third-party widget.
  • 03
    A CRM spine under the guest lifecycle, so inquiries, reservations, attribution, and communications live in one system instead of four.
    No centralized place to track who reached out, what they asked about, or what they eventually booked. Hello Automations wired into the new site plus Smartwaivers pulled the guest lifecycle onto one surface.
  • 04
    An operator, not a vendor. Three years of day-to-day digital presence management, not a launch-and-leave project.
    A one-off redesign wouldn't solve the underlying problem. The scope had to extend from visual direction through ongoing operations, because the system only holds together if someone keeps holding it.
INDEX · 03 · OUR APPROACH
Brand to daily ops

Six workstreams. One operator. Three years.

Most destination engagements cover either brand and creative or website and tooling, then hand the rest to another vendor. The Wekiva scope pulled every layer under one team so the brand, the production library, the booking platform, and the guest lifecycle ran on the same system.
BRAND
Refresh aligned to the destination.

New visual system built on the character of Wekiva Island. Visual direction, photography art-direction, and content rebuilt to reflect the property instead of a generic hospitality template.

Identity · visual system · content
PRODUCTION
Multi-day on-site shoot.

On-site production capturing lifestyle, destination, drone, and GoPro footage across multiple days. Delivered a full content library used across web, social, and marketing for the duration of the engagement.

Photo · video · drone · GoPro
WEBSITE
Custom mobile-first build.

Modern responsive site with integrated booking tools, merchandise e-commerce, and event ticket sales. One path from discovery to reservation instead of a handoff to a third-party widget.

Booking + e-commerce + events
AUTOMATION
Hello Automations deployed.

CRM automation, lead intake, guest communications, and attribution managed through Hello Automations. The guest lifecycle runs on one spine instead of four disconnected tools.

CRM · intake · attribution
OPERATIONAL
Smartwaivers integrated.

Smartwaivers and operational tooling integrated with the marketing stack. Guest-facing operations and marketing operations sit on the same system instead of sending staff between two.

Operational continuity
ONGOING OPS
Three years of daily digital presence.

Content updates, marketing support, and digital presence management across the engagement. The system only holds together if someone keeps holding it; we did, across three years.

Daily digital presence
INDEX · 04 · OPERATOR SCOPE
What operator-scope actually means

Brand, production, platform, automation. Under one team.

The usual destination engagement splits across a creative agency, a production house, a web shop, and a CRM implementer. Wekiva needed the opposite of that. Four layers, one team, three years.
BRAND DIRECTION

Visual system aligned to the destination.

Rebuilt the brand presentation to match the energy of the property. Visual direction, photography art-direction, and content rebuilt around the character of Wekiva Island itself, not a templated hospitality system.

PRODUCTION

Multi-day on-site shoot.

On-site production across multiple days capturing lifestyle, destination, drone, and GoPro footage. Delivered a full content library used across web, social, and marketing for the duration of the engagement.

PLATFORM

Custom site, booking, and e-commerce.

Modern mobile-first site with integrated booking tools, merchandise e-commerce, and event ticket sales. Replaced disconnected reservation tools with one path from discovery to reservation.

AUTOMATION

Hello Automations deployed.

CRM automation, lead intake, guest communications, and attribution managed through our Hello Automations platform. Smartwaivers and operational tooling integrated with the marketing stack, so the guest experience and the operations system run on one spine.

INDEX · 07 · RESULTS & RECOGNITION
Where the engagement landed

Fragmented to cohesive. Brand through operations, on one system.

A three-year destination engagement of this shape doesn't have a single headline number. The result is a unified system where brand, production library, booking platform, and CRM run together. The proof is that the partnership ran three years across every one of those layers.

Visual and experiential system, end to end.

Unified brand, photography library, booking platform, and CRM under one engagement. Guests moved through a system designed as a whole instead of four stitched-together vendors.

Booking and e-commerce on one platform.

Custom site replaced disconnected reservation tools with integrated booking, merchandise e-commerce, and event ticket sales. Discovery to reservation on one path instead of a handoff to a third-party widget.

Full production content library.

Multi-day on-site shoot delivered photography, video, drone, and GoPro footage used across web, social, and marketing across three years. The library kept earning long after the shoot wrapped.

Three-year operator partnership.

Scope extended from visual direction through daily operations. Hello Automations and Smartwaivers wired the guest lifecycle into one spine and stayed operated by the same team that built the brand.

The claim

Operator, notvendor.

A vendor would have shipped a redesign. The work needed someone to own the brand, the production library, the booking platform, the CRM, and the daily operations underneath all of it. Three years of that is what this case is. If the problem in front of you looks the same, we should talk.
