WHAT WE KNOW

The hospitality industry doesn’t have a demand problem.
It has a conversion problem.

Here’s what we see across Africa — over and over again:


Marketing can bring the demand. But if the commercial structure is leaking, revenue disappears.

We don’t do “marketing support.” We drive commercial performance.

Nuecleo operates at the intersection of:
Sales + Marketing + Revenue + Digital + Guest Journey.

We help owners, operators and leadership teams build a commercial system that improves:

Because in hospitality, every decision impacts revenue.

Our Commercial Growth Framework
Four pillars. One goal: performance.

1. Commercial Strategy
We define what you’re selling, who you’re selling it to, and what success looks like.
Clear direction. No fluff.
2. Pricing & Demand Strategy
We align pricing to booking behaviour, seasonality and demand signals so your hotel stops guessing and starts pricing with confidence.
3. Distribution & Demand Capture
We improve channel mix, optimise conversion, and reduce dependency on OTAs by strengthening direct booking performance.
4. Execution & Performance Tracking
We turn strategy into disciplined action — with delivery, reporting, and ongoing optimisation.

This is what happens when your commercial engine is aligned

You move from reactive to strategic. Instead of:

You start:

The outcome is simple: more control, more revenue, and better stability.

FEATURED PROJECTS

Explore our success stories where Nuecleo has transformed hospitality and tourism businesses into remarkable brands.

Hotel 2 Fevrier

Hotel 2 Fevrier, located in Lome, Togo is an unexpected African gem. Togo is between Ghana and Benin and a French-speaking country, picture stretches of beach, bustling markets, and beautiful French colonial architecture.

Tasked with revitalizing hotel revenue and marketing, and introducing a tourism aspect in Lome, Togo, our commercial team had to transform the hotel’s image, position it as a leisure destination, and emphasize its CSR efforts within a tight 3-month deadline.

Signature Lux

Nuecleo, the outsourced marketing agency, was given the responsibility of creating and executing the brand identity for the rebranded property, ONOMO Hotels. Our tasks involved introducing the new hotel to the market and raising awareness through various internal and external marketing activities.

We were given 3 Months to launch to meet our target we used the following tactics: hotel marketing plan and launch strategy, brand conceptualization, brand elements, and graphic design, above-the-line advertising, social media management, website management.

Eighteen13

Eighteen13 faced the challenge of inconsistent attendance at their weekly events due to COVID restrictions on events and liquor sales.

Nuecleo revamped its website, enabling tasting bookings (to manage staff, stock, and generate additional revenue), introducing a wine club for deliveries during COVID-19, and setting up event ticket bookings to boost revenue and reduce no shows/cancellations. Following these changes, event bookings were fully booked a month ahead.

Additionally, we supported a lifestyle content photoshoot.

Johari Rotana

Johari Rotana, a prestigious 5-star business hotel in Dar es Salaam, partnered with Nuecleo as their marketing agency to bolster up on their digital marketing approach.

Nuecleo’s role includes graphic design, campaign management, exploring new revenue streams and marketing opportunities, social media management, Meta advertising campaigns, and overall marketing assistance for the hotel.

I would like to acknowledge Nuecleo for exceeding our expectations in providing digital marketing support, coupled with world-class campaigns in repositioning Hotel 2 Fevrier, Lome, Togo. The proof of Nuecleo's value was very evident as in a space of 2 months, the hotel was recognized as the no. 1 hotel in Africa for social media presence for the month of February 2020. Nuecleo has been nothing but professional in all our interactions and is committed to our success.

Had an excellent experience working with NueCleo! They have completely overhauled my website and social media platforms which has greatly opened up new opportunities for us as well as made our brand stand out much more! Would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a fresh new look.

I brought Cleo on board to assist in the Marketing responsibilities at the Johari Rotana in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Cleo managed the Marketing Director portfolio while Brigitte was on Maternity leave. This included the Social Media Management, Online Campaign Management, On Property Food & Beverage activations, along with several revenue-generating projects. Cleo demonstrated excellent project management skills, particularly in overseeing complex projects from conception to completion, all while maintaining a high level of organization and attention to detail. She was actively involved and took ownership of the portfolio. She increased the Social Media footprint, which led to an increase in F&B Revenues in the various outlets. To date, her results are still seen at the Hotel as long-term business impacts.
