This award recognises a high-impact brand media campaign that strengthens brand visibility, reinforces positioning and engages target audiences through adistinctive and well-executed narrative across media platforms.
The project:
Hotel Indigo's integrated media campaign, "The World’s Neighbourhood Hotel," was designed to drive awareness and consideration within its target audience of "Next Generation Travellers." The campaign aimed to position Hotel Indigo as a distinctive brand, emphasizing the uniqueness of each hotel and its surrounding neighbourhood. Central to the campaign was a video-led approach that showcased the people, places, and experiences that define the local areas where Hotel Indigo properties are located. This strategy sought to engage travellers who value authentic, immersive experiences during their stays.
The video content highlighted the vibrant, culturally rich environments around each Hotel Indigo location, reinforcing the idea that each hotel is more than just a place to stay—it is a gateway to discovering the essence of the neighbourhood. By focusing on local connections, the campaign portrayed the hotel as an integral part of the community, offering guests a personalized, localised experience that aligns with their desire for deeper connections while travelling.
The campaign’s messaging resonated with the "Next Generation Travellers," a group that values experiential travel and seeks more than conventional hotel experiences. These travellers are looking for unique, immersive stays that reflect the local culture and environment, and Hotel Indigo positioned itself as the ideal brand to meet this need. By leveraging video and storytelling, the campaign aimed to connect emotionally with the target audience, showcasing how Hotel Indigo’s design, service, and experiences mirror the neighbourhoods they are part of.
Through this integrated approach, the campaign sought not only to boost brand awareness but also to position Hotel Indigo as a preferred choice for travellers looking to explore the world’s most vibrant neighbourhoods in a meaningful way.
