The Media Brand that Owns a Hotel Chain

Marriott operates as a media company to compete in a digital world

Marriott International, learned the power of content marketing after launching Marriott Traveler, a media site that attracts 3 million unique visitors (up 78 percent from the previous year).

Visits to the individual hotel landing pages via Traveler were up 80 percent and revenue from hotel bookings went up 200 percent compared to the year before.

“Those results certainly make a solid case for content marketing.” – Inc. magazine

They turned into a full media site that promotes travel, food, drinks, culture, health & fitness which entertains millions of travelers who share their love of culture and adventure through the content they share on their site.

A site by the way, where you can also book a room for your next vacation…

After launching a successful blog authored by their chairman, Marriott updated their marketing strategy to approach people based on their passion for travel and love for adventure (instead of just pitching hotel room benefits like everyone else).
