Luxury Brand Consultancy
About Atlas & Co.

Curious by nature.
Global by instinct.

Atlas & Co. is a boutique representation and marketing consultancy for hospitality brands ready to grow beyond borders. We work exclusively across four outbound markets: CIS, UK and Europe, Australia, and the UAE because depth within a market matters more than the length of a contact list.

We came out of luxury hospitality, not out of agency culture.

That shows up in the way we work: we read a brand the way a GM reads a guest, we pitch the way a director of sales pitches a group account, and we treat a press trip like the curated arrival it is, not simply another stay.

Our roster stays small by design. We take on fewer clients to go further with each one, representing each brand's voice, calendar, markets, and ambition as if it were our own.

A Letter from the Founders

We met in the Maldives. Two women from opposite corners of the world, working long shifts at the same resort, learning about each other in the hours between guest arrivals.

That is where Atlas & Co. began. Not with a business plan, but with a friendship and a shared belief that the best work in luxury hospitality happens when the people behind it truly know one another.

We spent more than a decade inside luxury resorts, opening them, representing them, and positioning them in markets thousands of miles from the islands they call home. Along the way, we saw what gets lost when representation becomes a volume game. When a brand becomes a logo on a presentation. When a pitch loses its voice. When relationships become transactional.

Atlas & Co. is our answer to that.

We built it intentionally boutique: a selective roster of brands represented with depth, discretion, and long term thinking. We work across four outbound markets: CIS, UK and Europe, Australia, and the UAE. Not because the world is only four markets, but because these are the ones we genuinely understand.

We do not simply market hotels. We build the sales, PR, and brand foundations that allow hospitality brands to grow internationally while keeping their voice, identity, and positioning intact.

Curious by nature. Global by instinct. Always personal.

That is the whole thing.

Alia & Canan
Our Services

Strategic support across sales, communications, and digital.

01

Sales Representation

Representation is not just about access. It is about alignment.

Dedicated sales support across CIS, UK & Europe, Australia, and the UAE, with the relationships in each market already built, and the judgement to know when to push and when to hold.

We become your voice on the ground: present in the trade shows that matter, in front of the travel buyers, tour operators, and luxury advisors your brand should already be on first name terms with, and closing the conversations that turn interest into bookings.

02

Brand Awareness & Positioning

Every market speaks a different language.

Regionally tailored strategy to build presence and recognition across GCC, EU, UK, and CIS. Local insight delivered without losing what makes the brand recognisable everywhere else.

We shape how a brand is understood in each region without fragmenting it, so a hotel in the Indian Ocean reads consistent to a Dubai family office, a London tour operator, and a Kyiv private travel advisor, without speaking to any of them the same way.

03

PR, Influencer & Brand Strategy

Story, audience, and purpose, brought together under one roof.

Media relations, editorial placement, press trips, influencer partnerships, curated brand collaborations, and seasonal programming concepts developed as one connected ecosystem rather than separate executions.

Because we sit inside luxury hospitality rather than adjacent to it, our network of journalists, creators, tastemakers, and global brands is built on years of trusted relationships, long term collaborations, and real industry understanding.

04

Storytelling & Communications

A strong brand begins with a meaningful story.

Founder led communications built on emotion, creativity, and precision. From press kits, websites, and editorial narratives to bespoke coffee table books and guest facing storytelling, we create layered brand worlds designed to deepen emotional connection and long term memory.

Much of the photography and visual narrative is produced in house by our co founder Canan, ensuring the story and imagery are developed together rather than separately briefed across multiple teams.

05

Digital & Social Media Strategy

Digital is more than visibility. It is about relevance.

Content strategy, campaign development, creative production, and social execution built for luxury hospitality brands whose audiences are discerning, private, and intentional about where they travel.

From seasonal campaigns and brand partnerships to visual storytelling and platform direction, we create digital ecosystems designed to feel editorial, emotionally resonant, and culturally aligned rather than transactional.

The Founders

Led by two women with a shared belief in meaningful connection and considered growth.

Alia Korshykova, co-founder of Atlas & Co.

Alia Korshykova

Co-founder & Sales Director

Over a decade in luxury hospitality, much of it spent in the Maldives. Alia began her career in 2014 as a concierge at One&Only Reethi Rah, then moved to Amilla Maldives, first as a butler, later leading sales as the resort found its voice. In 2020 she joined the pre-opening team for the Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, and has since led its sales effort through the property's first five years, most recently as Assistant Director of Sales & Marketing.

Her strengths are the ones that rarely show up on a title slide.

A director level command of the CIS, UK, European, GCC, and Australian outbound markets, trust built across hundreds of one-to-one meetings, and the judgement to know when a brand needs commercial acceleration and when it needs silence and patience.

Named Sales Personality Maldives 2025 and Marriott APAC Rising Star 2024. Ukrainian by origin, multilingual by training, Maldivian by routine. At Atlas & Co., Alia leads sales and market strategy.

Canan Karabagli, co-founder of Atlas & Co.

Canan Karabagli

Co-founder & PR & Marketing Director

A storyteller first, strategist by training. Canan began her career in Istanbul, first within the social media agency world, followed by ELSE Lingerie, before moving into luxury hospitality with The Bodrum EDITION and METT Hotel & Beach Resort Bodrum.

In 2021, she joined JOALI Maldives as Cluster Marketing & Brand Executive, before stepping into The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands in 2022, where she most recently served as Assistant Director of Marketing & Communications.

Her work moves fluidly across brand narrative, editorial storytelling, press relations, photography, and creative direction. She is also an emerging journalist and producer, with much of the original imagery and visual storytelling at Atlas & Co. created under her direction.

Turkish by origin, shaped by the Aegean, and now based between islands and international hospitality destinations, Canan leads PR, brand strategy, storytelling, and communications at Atlas & Co.

Always curious. Always committed. Always personal.

The Atlas Approach

The way we work is the difference.

Depth Over Breadth
01

A deliberately small roster. We take on fewer brands so each one gets real focus, real presence, and the time it deserves.

Founder Led
02

Every account is handled by the people whose names are on the door. No handoffs, no junior teams, no diluted attention.

Inside the Industry
03

We came from luxury hospitality, not agency culture. We read a brand the way a GM reads a guest.

Built on Relationships
04

A network earned, not bought. Years of trust with the advisors, editors, and buyers who shape where luxury travels.

Frequently Asked

Questions we are often asked.

CIS, UK and Europe, Australia, and the UAE. We work exclusively across these four because depth of relationship matters more than breadth of coverage.
Through a fixed monthly retainer, typically on a twelve month cycle. We favour this over commission based models because it lets us act as a true extension of your commercial team, present, aligned, and unbiased.
No. We hold strict geographical and categorical exclusivity. We will never represent a direct competitor within your micro destination or category at the same time.
We come from inside luxury hospitality, not from agency culture. We read a brand the way a GM reads a guest, and we pitch the way a director of sales pitches a group account.
