Background
Pace Public Relations is a leading international agency based in New York City. CEO Annie Scranton was looking for ways to make business travel more affordable and engaging for her team.
The challenge? Hotel costs were rising, and standard business travel felt transactional — not aligned with the company’s creative, people-first culture.
When Annie discovered Roamr, she saw an opportunity to rethink how her team travels. Within a week of meeting the Roamr team, Pace PR became a customer. By the end of the month, they had their first trip booked.
Staying with Friends
Kara, a West Coast–based team member, was heading to New York for a team workshop. Instead of booking a pricey hotel, she stayed with a close friend in the city.
“I had such a seamless experience with Roamr for a recent work trip. From setting up on the platform, booking and getting paid (both my friend and me), everything was super smooth. I will definitely use the platform for future travel in destinations where I have friends or contacts!” - Kara De Los Reyes, Senior Account Director
Colleague-to-Colleague Connection
Having heard about Kara’s awesome Roamr experience, her colleague Janika jumped at the chance to use it for her next trip to NYC - this time, hosted by another Pace PR team member, Isabella.
That two-night trip would’ve cost over $1077, but with Roamr, Pace PR paid just $754.
Because this was an internal stay, 90% of the hotel budget spent was redirected back to the Pace PR pockets → 30% savings to the company, while Janika and Isabella each earned 30% too.
“I used Roamr to stay with a close colleague during New York’s Climate Week. Instead of having to pay what would have been over $1,000 for just two days, we had the benefit of saving money while getting paid! Overall, it was a great experience and made travel booking more convenient.” - Janika Dela Cruz, Assistant Account Executive
A New Model for Work Travel
Roamr is quickly becoming a hit with the Pace PR team — not just for the savings, not just for earnings but for the culture it supports. A great example of this was recently when some Roamr-generated savings were used to facilitate a privately catered team lunch and a team dinner for their offsite - chef's kiss!
“Roamr has been so well received by my colleagues! It’s such a fun way to incentivize work travel — with benefits for my team to make money while the company saves money. It’s truly a win-win.” — Annie Scranton, CEO
Today, Pace PR continues to use Roamr, enabling the team to stay with colleagues or friends across, turning traditional travel expenses into meaningful, shared experiences that reward everyone involved.
