Savvy Host AI Agency · Built on the Guest First Framework™

What if marketing was the part of hosting you could finally stop worrying about?

Ten trained team members: a Brand Director, a Marketing Director, and the specialists who write your listings, blogs, emails, social, and guest messages. Every one of them trained on your voice, your guests, your properties, and your destination, running on the vacation rental marketing frameworks I've taught for 14 years. You're the CMO. Your agency does the work.

Built at your own pace with setup videos and step-by-step guides, plus a month of live support in Savvy Host HQ. You own everything it makes, and the team itself, for good.

You didn't know you were going to have to be a digital marketing expert when you started this business.

Yet, here you are trying to figure it all out. On your own. You join the groups, listen to the experts. Watch the trainings. Facebook. Instagram. Email marketing. Book direct website. Google Business. You have enough on your plate just managing your properties.

AI was supposed to be the miracle that could make marketing (and managing) easier.

You keep hearing how others are making it work with amazing results. But you're fighting with a bot who makes up amenities, sounds like AI slop, and doesn't know one thing about this business it is supposed to be helping you with.

Sometimes it's absolutely incredible and you think you've finally figured it out. Other times you spend more time fixing the output than you'd have spent writing it yourself. And even when you get the voice dialed in, you still have to re-explain, find the right thread, figure out where you left off. Every new chat starts with you re-explaining your property, your guests, your destination, all over again.

That's not a marketing system. It's a jumbled mess of AI nonsense.

You are still the bottleneck because you have to tell it what to do and when. And to be honest, you aren't always sure. When hosting (and life) gets in the way, marketing breaks into pieces.

—The email doesn't go out.
—The blog sits half-finished.
—Social turns into another last-minute post you started last week, in some chat thread, somewhere.

You're throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping someone books.

You're a great host. Your reviews prove it. But what comes out of that chat window sounds like a bot wearing your name tag, and some days like a drunk intern gone rogue.

But AI isn't a drunk intern. It's the employee that nobody trained properly.

Here's the thing.

You would never hire an employee and not train them.

You wouldn't trust your cleaning with someone that didn't know how to clean. And you wouldn't trust your marketing with someone that didn't understand marketing. You'd hire someone with experience. Then you'd train them on your business, your properties, and the way you want to run things.

Yet that's exactly how most people are trying to use AI. Right out of the box, without giving it the foundational training so it understands what it is supposed to do, why and how.

Which is exactly why it disappoints them. AI is only ever as good as what it's been given. Vague positioning, thin property details, no real sense of who you're talking to — and you get vague, thin, generic work back. The problem was never that the tool wasn't smart enough. It's that nobody ever told it anything worth knowing.

This is also why more agents won't save you. Everyone is selling autonomy right now — AI that goes off and does the work by itself. But an untrained agent just makes generic mistakes faster, and without a plan behind it, ten of them produce ten disconnected pieces of content nobody asked for.

That's the problem the Savvy Host AI Agency takes care of. I hand you a marketing team already trained on my hospitality marketing frameworks, built through years of trial and error with hosts all over the world. Then we build it in the right order.

The build order

Foundations first, then the strategy, then the team.

01

The Brand Foundation

Guest avatars, positioning, and your offer matrix. Brand voice and brand story. A property reference book, and everything your reviews already tell you about why people book. It all becomes your Hospitality Brand Bible™ — the brain every specialist works from.

02

The Marketing Strategy

Competition and destination research. Your guest journey map. A six-month marketing roadmap built around seasonality, availability, and booking windows — then broken down into a 90-day content plan and an editorial calendar for blogs and email.

03

The Specialist Team

Now the writers go to work. Blog and website content built for Google and AI search. Social posts and Reel storyboards. Email campaigns and sequences. Listing descriptions, and guest messages that sound like your hospitality. Every one of them working from 01 and 02.

And then it stops being a chat window. You are not creating from nothing anymore. You have a coordinated system that follows a plan you built with AI.

How it works

Your team shows up in the order it has to be built.

Your Directors come first, on purpose. Nothing a specialist writes is any good until your brand foundation is solid and your marketing plan is set. So you get two weeks with your Brand Director and Marketing Director to do that work right, and the specialists join once there's something real for them to work from.

01
Your first kickoff call

Brand Director + Marketing Director

Your Brand Director builds your Hospitality Brand Bible™: guest avatar, voice, positioning, offers, and property details. Your Marketing Director turns it into your roadmap and content plan. This is the foundation every specialist reads from, so this is where your attention goes first.

02
Your next kickoff call, about two weeks later

The specialist team

Your Listing Specialist, writing descriptions for Airbnb, VRBO, and your direct booking site. Plus your Content Manager, Content, Email, Social Media, Destination Marketing, Guest Communications, and Productivity specialists. They arrive with your foundation already in place, so their first drafts sound like you.

We hold two kickoff calls a month, and new skills ship the day of the call. Can't make it live? That's fine. Your skills still arrive that day, with setup videos and build guides to walk you through them.

Build the brand guests choose on purpose with a book-direct marketing strategy running in your business  -

Email Specialist

Wrote the email blast about the holiday Trail of Lights and the Santa Suit contest.

Social Specialist

Wrote four social posts about December family fun, with scheduling suggestions it can add to your calendar or task manager.

Listing Specialist

Reminded you to update with photos of holiday decor, snow on the ground, and the big family dining room.

Blog Specialist

Wrote the December events calendar blog, with image suggestions.

Everyone working from the same source of truth. Everyone knowing what to produce, and when. And if December is booked, it moves on to the next season without missing a beat.

Every host in your destination is using ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to help them with their marketing. AI is no longer an advantage. The foundations, strategy and training are.

Meet the team

Meet the team. All of them come with the Agency.

These are the Skills I've built, tested, and refined with real vacation rental and glamping businesses over the past eighteen months. Each team member below isn't a single skill with a hospitality label slapped on it. Each one carries a full set of trained skills, and they're built to work together: the Directors direct, the strategy follows my Content Marketing Traffic Circle™, and every specialist builds on what the others produce. You install them once, keep them forever, and run them in your own Claude account.

And the whole operation is managed by Control Center — the operations skill that sets up your workspace, tracks what's built, and keeps every team member reading from the same foundation. Included with the Agency.

"This blows my mind how it breaks things down."

Real output

Here's what "trained on your business" actually looks like.

Same property. Same AI. The difference is the training.

Not a fictional cabin. Not a staged prompt demo. This is a real Claude conversation with a real client, Track Rental in Saratoga Springs, using their Listing Specialist trained on their brand voice, their racing-professional guest avatar, and Saratoga racing-season knowledge.

Step one: watch it think like a marketer.

Claude asking strategic questions about a Saratoga Springs listing
  • ✓"Used a Skill" — the trained Listing Specialist fires on its own
  • ✓"Practical details that matter to horsemen" — it knows the guest avatar by name
  • ✓"Nelson Ave or Union Ave" — it knows the geography of the destination

Step two: then watch it produce.

The finished listing description with meta title, branded heading, and racing-professional positioning
  • ✓Meta title and description, ready to paste into the listing platform
  • ✓A heading written for one specific guest, not for everybody
  • ✓Filed to the client's own folder, so the team remembers the property next time

Created with the Savvy Host AI system using real business and destination foundations, with human strategy and review.

AI is changing. Generic prompts aren't enough.

I've trained your AI team on three proven frameworks no AI prompt pack can replicate.

A system that isn't built on prompts. It's built on 40+ hours of teaching transcripts from my work with vacation rental hosts and students across the world over the past 11 years. It knows how I teach. It knows how I think.

01 · The Philosophy

Guest First Framework™ — five strategic shifts from competing on price to competing on hospitality. Reach guests in the dreaming phase.

02 · The Strategy

C-3 Framework™ — destination content that meets guests in dreaming, planning, and post-stay phases. Reach them before they decide where to go.

03 · The Execution

Content Marketing Traffic Circle™ — connecting every blog, post, and email back to your direct booking site or OTA listing.

Airbnb meets them after they decide where to go. Your marketing should meet them before. 82% of travelers haven't decided where to stay when they start dreaming and planning. — TripAdvisor

Every host in your destination is using the same AI tools.

The tools won't be the advantage. The foundations and training will.

Before we build the team, we build the brain: the guest avatars, positioning, brand voice, property knowledge, destination intelligence, and marketing plan every specialist needs to do useful work. That's the difference between a cheap setup that hands you disconnected bots and a trained system with real business intelligence behind it. The Agency build spends its whole first phase training Claude on your business foundations before your team ever writes a word.

You don't just get an Instagram caption writer with a hospitality label slapped on it. You get a Social Media Specialist following the strategy that helped build a 60K Instagram following. A Content Specialist built from an SEO expert whose client content ranks on page one of Google, and gets cited in AI. It considers what property is available, which guest it needs to reach, what they're planning and worrying about, the booking window, the season, and the next action to invite.

Your AI team works because the strategy works. That's what you're paying for.

"The defining feature of Jodi's approach is a deliberate constraint: that the Skills won't produce usable output until the underlying brand work is done first."

Heather Bayer · Host, Vacation Rental Success Podcast
What happens when you actually train it

"Claude just opened my eyes. I have all the pieces of the puzzles. My first condo down here since 2007 — why was I keeping the curtains closed? I sell the view, right? Totally different now."

Cat Caszatt · on what her review analysis changed about her actual hosting

"I've done avatar work before, but this guided me through developing my avatar much better than anything I've had before. I actually feel like I know her. My first Facebook post with the AI received 10,000 views, 180 likes and 18 comments. Because I spoke directly to my avatar. Your AI Team works!"

Cat Caszatt · Galveston Caszatt Condos

"Jodi's blogging tools and Claude Skills and training have saved me hours creating not only more content, but better content. I see results every week when I check where we've been cited."

Ann-Tyler Konradi · The Yurtopian Hill Country Resort

"Everybody's going to have the same set of tools, but yours is based on all your experience and knowledge. That's the thing that makes the big difference for anyone serious about setting it up."

Tanisha Josey · Florida Host

"I saw Jodi speak at the Vacation Rental Women's Conference and her session was worth the price of my entire ticket. Through the process she helped me rethink my guest avatar and elevate the brand. Since then our email list has grown by leaps and bounds and direct bookings are finally a reality."

Susanne Young · Urban Shores, Kelowna

"We joined a Master Class Program from a seasoned STR expert. We learned a lot, but we still needed more. We engaged Jodi and got to work. Jodi encouraged us to price our STR at double the price of nearby STRs. She was right. Since launching we are running at north of 85% occupancy."

Alan & Megan Kleber · Spring Creek Retreats, NC

"100% direct bookings in our first year with Jodi leading us the entire way — social media, email marketing, blogs and website. She did it all."

The Social Media Suitcase, rebuilt for AI.

Hosts have used my Social Media Suitcase for years to get past the blank caption box: daily prompts, monthly captions, Reel and story ideas, and calls to action written for vacation rentals. Tanya Hughes called it "the only one I've seen geared for vacation rentals."

The AI version skips the fill-in-the-blanks. It reads your Hospitality Brand Bible™, your guest avatar, and your destination, then drafts the month for you.

Your Social Media Specialist runs the strategy. The Suitcase keeps the idea bank full, so there's always something worth posting.

Included with the pay-in-full option only. Ships [ship date].

Done with you, on your schedule

I'm not going to hand you a ten-person team and wave goodbye.

Every team member installs with a short setup video. Watch me do it, then do it yourself. Every phase comes with a PDF build guide you keep forever, so you always know what to build next and why it comes in that order. And Control Center keeps the whole operation organized, tracking what's built and what's waiting.

Then there's the part most programs skip: a real person who's seen your work.

The management layer

You're the CMO. Savvy Host HQ is me in your corner.

Run your team the way an agency is supposed to be run, with an account manager helping you lead the way. Savvy Host HQ is monthly agency training, coordination, and marketing support from me: new skill drops for your roster, agency walkthroughs, troubleshooting, and help reading whether the marketing is actually working.

Your first month comes with the Agency. After that it's $97/month. Only if you need it, cancel anytime, and everything you've built stays yours either way.

My Show-Up-and-Succeed Promise. Work the build path, install your Skills, and finish your foundation documents. If it's still not clicking, you get two private working sessions with me to get your foundation done. Your results are my job, as long as you're doing yours. I'm not about to let you fall through the cracks.

Would you rather have me build it with you? I run this privately, with you or your small team, on your schedule and against your own portfolio. Private engagements start at $1,500. Book a call and we'll talk it through →

Who's behind your team

Jodi Bourne.

I've spent more than two decades building brands and marketing strategies, with the last 14 of those in tourism and hospitality. I'm not a host who got lucky and started coaching. I'm a career marketer who chose this industry on purpose, and I've spent that time helping small operators build profitable businesses by focusing on their guests. I call this the Guest First Framework™, and every strategy I teach is based on that core message.

As an early adopter of AI tools like Jasper, then ChatGPT, I made all the mistakes, gave up completely, then went all in on Claude, learning to train AI to do the real jobs I needed help with: avatar development, marketing strategy, email newsletters, and blog drafts.

Here's what all of that means for you: you don't need to become an AI expert. You already have the most valuable raw material: your guests, your property, your destination. I give you the team built on my frameworks, the setup, and the workflows. You bring the business knowledge only you have. That's the deal, and it's a good one.

"Structured, brand-first, and allergic to generic output — which is why I love her so much."

Heather Bayer · Host, Vacation Rental Success Podcast
Jodi Bourne

Who this is for, and who it isn't.

Built for you if

  • ✓You're a self-managing host, boutique operator, or property manager, generally under 30 properties in no more than two destinations
  • ✓You're still doing or directing most of the marketing, or have a small team you want trained alongside you
  • ✓Your hospitality and reviews are strong, but your marketing systems are inconsistent
  • ✓You're tired of depending on Airbnb's algorithm, and you want to own the marketing system, not rent an agency

Not for you if

  • ×You're a hands-off investor expecting AI to run the business without judgment or oversight
  • ×You want it all done for you
  • You're not willing to spend focused time building your foundations

A note on scale. The build fits best under 30 properties across no more than two destinations. Bigger than that, you can still get the Agency and learn the whole system, just know some of the foundational work multiplies, and my one-to-one program may be the better fit. I'd rather you hear the honest math from me now than find it mid-build.

The honest answers.

Do I need to know Claude?

No. The build path starts at zero: setup videos show you what to click, the guides tell you what to build next, and your first month of Savvy Host HQ means I'm there when you hit a wall. You'll need Claude Pro, about $20/month.

How long does it take to build?

The skills arrive on a set path: your Brand and Marketing Directors at your first kickoff call, then the specialists, including your Listing Specialist, at the next one, about two weeks later. We hold two kickoff calls a month, and skills ship the day of the call whether or not you make it live. Once they're in your hands, the pace is yours. Some hosts sprint it, some take a season.

What support do I get?

Setup videos for every team member, PDF build guides for every phase, and one month of Savvy Host HQ: live agency training, feedback on what your team produces, skill drops, and troubleshooting with me. After your free month it's $97/month, only if you need it.

What if I get stuck?

That's what HQ is for. Bring the thing that's stuck to a live session and we fix it together. And if you work the build path, install your Skills, and finish your foundation documents and it's still not clicking, my Show-Up-and-Succeed Promise kicks in: two private working sessions with me to get your foundation done.

Can I buy individual team members?

Yes, but not right now. The team is trained to work together: the Directors direct, the strategy follows my Content Marketing Traffic Circle™, and each team member builds on what the others produce. Selling them one at a time is the next step. Today you can get the full Agency, or start with the pieces that stand on their own: the Perfect Guest Playbook™ ($79), the Hospitality Brand Bible™ (your Brand Director, $297), and the Book Direct Blog Blueprint (the Content Marketing Specialist sold on its own, $199).

What is an AI agent, and is that what I'm building?

An agent is AI that takes actions on its own. What you build here is a set of trained Skills: your business knowledge plus my hospitality marketing frameworks, packaged so a specialist produces real work on request. Some of it can move into automated workflows later, where your tech stack allows. But autonomy was never the useful part. An untrained agent just makes generic mistakes faster. The training is what makes either one worth having.

Does the team work without me?

It handles research, planning, drafting, and repeatable work. You approve the strategy, supply what's current (rates, availability, what's actually happening this weekend), and make the final call before anything goes out. A marketing department, not autopilot. I'd rather you hear that now than be disappointed later.

What do I actually own?

Everything. Your Skills, your foundation documents, and everything your team produces. Permanently, with no membership required to keep any of it. Your Hospitality Brand Bible™ is portable and works with ChatGPT, Gemini, or whatever comes next. The only thing you can't do is sell or give away the Skills themselves.

What happens after my free month of HQ?

It's $97/month if you want to keep me in your corner: ongoing agency training, new skill drops, and marketing support. Cancel anytime. You keep every Skill and every document either way.

What's the difference between the free Savvy Host Community and HQ?

The Community is free and open to every host: conversations, ideas, and a look at how other hosts are using AI. HQ is the management layer for Agency owners: live training, feedback on your team's actual output, new skills for your roster, and me helping you read whether the marketing is working.

I have more than 30 properties. Can I still do this?

Yes, with one caveat: the build fits best under 30 properties in no more than two destinations. Past that, some of the foundational work multiplies, and my one-to-one program may fit better. Start with one destination and run the system again for the next.

Will this help me show up in AI search?

Your content is structured for stronger AI visibility and built to improve discoverability. No one can guarantee rankings or citations, and as George Strait would tell you, anyone who does is selling you oceanfront property in Arizona.

"I have all the pieces. It's just putting them all together… it's doing it."

Cat Caszatt · Galveston Caszatt Condos

In a few weeks you could be running a trained marketing agency. Or you could still be arguing with a chat window.
