Visiting Media’s customers primarily include individual properties, hotel management companies and ownership groups, including Aimbridge Hospitality, Crescent Hotels & Resorts, and more.

I am confident that Visiting Media will be able to bring even more innovative products and technologies to our customers and position ourselves as the leading sales enablement platform for hotels and resorts worldwide.”
Visiting Media has ambitious goals to build on its already industry-leading revenue growth and customer retention. In addition to delivering new, innovative sales enablement products and technologies to its customers, the Company also plans to expand its team and broaden its existing commitment to customer success initiatives.
“Visiting Media’s innovative cloud-based sales enablement platform generates proven returns for customers in an increasingly virtual sales environment,” said Chase Thomet, Principal at JMI Equity. “We are impressed by the product-market fit, customer loyalty and ambitious culture Ben and his team have established and we look forward to working together to execute on a number of exciting opportunities.”
