The Hotel Marketing Show Hotelchamp

Building a strong hotel brand is so much more than just having nice colours, logos and fonts. It goes beyond the website and into the guest experience on-site but what does that mean, and how do you know if your brand needs work? In this episode of The Hotel Marketing Show, we talked with branding expert Maurice Ajanaku, the Global Brand Marketing Director from citizenM Hotels about how to build brands that people connect with, remember and love. Plus, we discuss how to measure your brand's impact and manage your brand if you're in a small team.

2023 is predicted to be another big year for the travel industry. Flight travel is expected to reach over 85% of 2019 levels throughout 2023. There is a big opportunity for hotel marketers to help capitalise on this demand and reach new and emerging audiences. However, 70% of marketers are describing their workload as high already—working on average on five campaigns at a time. Because of that, having a clear hotel marketing strategy for 2023 is just as important as ever to focus efforts.

There are growing challenges and concerns like changing privacy regulations, reaching audiences, and a lack of high-quality data. Thus, it’s critical for hotel marketers to narrow in on areas of opportunity for the hotel industry. In this episode of The Hotel Marketing Show, Nadine and Victoria discuss 8 key hotel marketing trends for 2023 to help refine your strategy for the coming year.
