Rosen Hotels & Resorts
“Ask Rosen”
With thousands of meeting hotels in the US, how do you get a meeting planner to consider your hotels for their next event?
Our client, Rosen Hotels & Resorts, wanted to stand out to busy meeting and event planners. We had just the thing: a customized Amazon Echo. After all, these folks had questions about Rosen Hotels & Resorts. We had the answers. And all the recipient had to do was, simply, Ask Rosen.
Branding/Concept Generation, Direct Mail, Technology, Website, Packaging
Ask Rosen was more than a customized Amazon Echo. It was an innovative and high-tech way for meeting and event planners to get answers to their questions, thus removing barriers to the booking process.
