About Airbnb

We’re proud to have the Airbnb account at EssenceMediacom since 2019. We won the account in 2019 when we looked after five global markets and our media budget was under $400M globally . Since then our relationships with Airbnb have strengthened and expanded; in ‘24 we’ll be looking after 20 markets (8 in EMEA) and our global media budget will be over $600M. With all that change it’s an extremely exciting time to be working on Airbnb

With the business growing we are looking to bring new leadership skills to help both our teams and clients navigate this change and growth, identify new opportunities to deliver breakthroughs and drive efficiencies, while continuing to strengthen our relationship.

The regional media and marketing are UK based, have strong relationships with the agency and often join our team and work from our offices.
