Driving Differentiation and Results for Hyatt’s Independent Collection

      Situation

      Hyatt Hotels & Resorts needs no introduction. This premier hotelier is a household name across the world, known for its design-forward ambience, personalized service and luxury offerings. Yet the three brands under the Independent Collection – The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Destination by Hyatt and JdV by Hyatt – proved to be relatively unknown. According to a 2023 brand health survey, only 15% of consumers reported knowing what any of the brands stood for. This is when Hyatt came to us. 

      Action

      Using an integrated, multichannel strategy across paid social, digital media, print and OOH, we targeted customized audience personas through three true-to-brand, insights-driven, U.S.-based campaigns. We worked with Hyatt to clearly define each brand’s voice to deliver creative executions that were both distinct from the crowd and distinguishable from each other. Our strategy aimed to drive awareness; generate incremental, first-time consideration; and increase incremental searches and bookings across Hyatt’s Independent Collections brands.
