​Social Media Campaign of the Year​

 

Social Media channels are now mainstream news and retailing outlets, and as such an essential component of any business marketing strategy. Hotels, with their wide variety of products, services and staff, have unique opportunities to create engaging and innovative content showcasing their offerings and producing high levels of engagement and ultimately bookings. Creativity, planning, an assessment of channels and their various features, effective use of the media available, timing and coordination of placements, with a little dash of luck, can produce a measurable impact on brand visibility. Influencer Marketing may be a key component of the Social Media Marketing, as may blogs and podcasts.​​​​​​​
