PRESIDENT’S AWARD – RECOVERY MARKETING | ACCOR
BACKGROUND
Accor set out to launch a campaign encouraging people to visit its hotels and reenter the travel world. In addition, Accor wanted to raise the profile of its loyalty program, ALL – Accor Live Limitless, in North America.
CAMPAIGN
Accor partnered with Momentum Worldwide and celebrity Neil Patrick Harris to reignite people’s passion for travel. They created a series of five comedic tutorial videos depicting Neil’s struggles with the basics of human interaction, covering topics such as how to pack and how to greet people. Each video featured an Accor destination, linking back to its main offer. Accor supported the campaign through digital and PR tactics, and the videos were housed on a microsite, which was promoted via email and display and social advertising.
RESULTS
The campaign achieved 1.5 billion combined impressions across digital, social media and PR, and Accor saw a 111% increase in bookings and 141% increase in revenue, versus the same period in 2019. The campaign was also picked up by publications such as People, Travel + Leisure, and Conde Nast Traveler.
