Description

In this episode, Brennen Bliss sits down with Savvas Georgiou, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Welcome Pickups, to unpack how the company scaled from a scrappy marketplace for local tours into a global leader in airport transfers across 100+ destinations. They dive into performance-driven marketing, short booking windows, the value of bottom-funnel acquisition, and how Welcome approaches attribution and app strategy. Savvas also shares insights into their B2B evolution—shifting from boutique hotels to OTAs and long-tail travel agents—and why focusing on “essential trip steps” has been key to their success.
