Westin Hotels & Resorts: World Sleep Day

Idea:

GTI leveraged Westin Hotels & Resorts partnership with World Sleep Day by implementing a series of local media activations, including a national sleep survey to create a topical news hook; deploying sleep kits that bring to life Westin’s ‘Sleep Well’ pillar among key media and influencers; and a commercial partnership with smoothfm in Sydney and Melbourne, which included an on-air giveaway to reach consumers directly. To supplement this, local Westin Well-being Advocate, model and health coach, Rachael Finch was also engaged to provide tips on how to achieve a good night’s sleep based on Westin’s own ‘Sleep Well’ philosophy.

The combined approach of media relations, media/influencer engagement, consumer competition and thought leadership created newsworthy content that garnered media attention and ensured campaign messages were delivered to the right audience.
