Goals: Clearly state your marketing goals. What did you strive to achieve using this piece or program?
How do we entertain from behind closed doors? When the entertainment capital of the world shuttered due the COVID-19 pandemic, we needed to find a way to engage and uplift our audiences — and we know they needed us to deliver in difficult times. So we brought our amenities and entertainment online. We tapped into our global agency McCann to support us in the development of a marketing framework that put consumer sentiment at the forefront and allowed us to flex our messaging across channels as the global climate ebbed and flowed. We launched a multi-channel campaign called “Together at home” featuring at-home recipes and videos from our chefs, messages from our entertainers, virtual DJ sessions and coverage of record-breaking perishable goods donations. Weekly "Tune-In" emails were sent to tease up what content to be on the lookout for that week on social as well as a highlight of our efforts in the community. Additionally, even though our buildings were closed, we included messages of hope and resiliency through lighting up hotel rooms and marquees to display hearts and messages on our buildings.
