Zoku Travel rebrands to BYRDLI, eyes future travel evolution

Australian-based Zoku Travel, previously recognised for its role in enabling creators to establish and expand their own travel ventures, has rebranded to BYRDLI. This shift is not merely a renaming but signifies a strategic evolution aimed at merging travel, community, and commerce into a single, dynamic platform.

The newly minted BYRDLI focuses on empowering creators to develop and elevate their Travel Clubs, create deeper connections, and drive a more personalised travel experience. Vanessa Richards, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of BYRDLI, commented, "The decision to rebrand as BYRDLI reflects our vision to create a new paradigm in travel. While Zoku Travel empowered creators to build travel businesses, BYRDLI takes it further, cultivating a dynamic community where travel isn't just sold but inspired and experienced."

Richards added, "BYRDLI equips creators with everything they need on one platform. After two years of perfecting our tools, we've gained a deep understanding of what creators need to bridge the gap between content creation and seamless travel bookings. BYRDLI is the ultimate link-in-bio travel club, connecting social inspiration, the travel community, and commerce." She further emphasised, "We're here to lead the next era of travel."

The rebranded platform introduces several new features aimed at enhancing community and creativity. Among these are Travel Clubs, which offer creators a designated space to release exclusive and premium content, engage directly with their audience, curate personalised travel products, and provide niche-specific experiences that align with their brand. Additionally, BYRDLI features creator-centric dashboards that equip users with advanced tools for managing their offerings. These dashboards facilitate tracking of engagement and provide deep audience insights through detailed analytics and marketing integrations, ultimately aiding creators in growth and connection strengthening.

Another significant introduction is a simplified subscription model. For USD $29 per month, creators gain access to BYRDLI's comprehensive suite of tools designed to elevate their business. This model aims to make the platform accessible to a wider range of creators and ensure they can fully leverage the available tools to their advantage.

Travellers can also benefit from the platform's rebranding. BYRDLI offers exclusive access to an online community where users can unlock unique, curated journeys and special offers that are unavailable elsewhere. This inventive approach seeks to transform travel into a collective, creative experience.

Richards expressed optimism about the future developments of BYRDLI, hinting at more features to be launched in the coming weeks. She stated, "This is just the beginning." The rebranding initiative encapsulates the company's commitment to being more than just a platform. BYRDLI aims to be a movement, advocating for a transformative approach to travel where it becomes a shared, community-driven passion.

Creators and independent travel advisors are encouraged to explore partnership opportunities or start their journey on the new platform. The goal is to craft a future where travel is an inspired, interactive, and enriched experience, moving beyond mere transactions.
