Biography

2019

Three years after graduating from Western Kentucky University, Houghton took the helm of the now 44-year-old travel brand, Lonely Planet, in 2013. One of his first tasks? Laying off 75 people, one-fifth of the company's employees, many of whom worked on LP's free-spirited print guidebooks. Industrywide, guidebook sales plummeted 40% from 2007 through 2012, so Houghton decided LP had to focus on digital to survive. One year after he took over, digital accounted for 30% of LP's revenue, and print sales also rebounded, up 27% since 2013.

After college Houghton started his own production company, Houghton Multimedia, which got the attention of tobacco billionaire Brad Kelley. The two created NC2 Media, through which Kelley acquired LP for $77 million. "You have to be respectful of [the] past while trying to plow into the future," says Houghton. That future is filled with a flagship "Guides" app (nearly a million downloads in the last year) and partnerships with companies like Samsung. LP is the largest guidebook player, according to Nielsen, owning 25% of the nearly $90 million guidebook market.

Daniel Houghton is the former CEO of Pyxl, a digital strategy and marketing agency with offices across the United States. Before Pyxl, he was CEO of Lonely Planet, one of the world’s leading travel media companies. Houghton spent five years at LP transforming the iconic travel brand from traditional publisher to a well-balanced media company that saw sales of their traditional print guides grow while launching digital media platforms that engaged millions globally. In 2017, he was recognized as one of Forbes’ “30 under 30” who were changing the media industry. Lonely Planet was also named one of Fast Companies “World’s Most Innovative Companies” list in 2018. Previously Daniel worked as a photojournalist and multimedia producer for a wide variety of clients which included The Seattle Times, the US Army, the Associated Press and McClatchy Newspapers.

Daniel Houghton became the CEO of the popular travel publishing company, Lonely Planet, at just 24. The company wasn’t adapting to modern times and its future looked bleak. They needed someone young, someone who knew how to transition Loney Planet into the digital age, and someone who understood both media and technology. That’s when Houghton was tapped to lead the company. Under his leadership, the company modernized and developed a new generation of readers, and now has over 16.2 million followers on social media. Recently, Houghton stepped down as CEO and wrote the book Wherever You Go, which has just been released.
