David Anthony Scott is a lodging growth strategist who helps vacation rental operators break free from OTA dependency and build profitable direct booking systems.
With a background spanning international banking and marketing agency ownership, he built and scaled an award-winning boutique hostel chain before founding STR Booster, a marketing automation service for mid-scale property managers.
David specializes in transforming struggling portfolios into high-performing assets through guest-niche targeting, comprehensive booking funnels, and AI-driven systems—recently helping one property manager increase direct bookings from 13% to 65% in six months without paid advertising.
He operates at the intersection of hospitality strategy, revenue optimization, and marketing automation, focusing on operators managing small to mid-sized portfolios who are ready to scale intelligently rather than simply adding more doors.
