Marriott Media aims to enhance brand engagement for travellers
Hospitality company Marriott International has unveiled a new media network to elevate brand engagement across the traveller journey.
Known as Marriott Media, this platform is designed to prioritise the travel experience, establishing connections between brands and customers at strategic points during their journey.
It integrates both digital and physical touchpoints, delivering timely and context-specific messages.
Marriott Media leverages first-party data and more than 200 targetable attributes from around 237 million members of the Marriott Bonvoy programme and Marriott's global lodging portfolio, which includes nearly 9,500 properties.
The network blends demographic information with guest behaviour, travel intent, and traveller interests to allow targeting.
Marriott Media provides marketers campaign performance insights with closed-loop attribution and is equipped with capabilities for messaging and creative execution, audience pinpointing, and evaluation.
The platform ensures responsible use of guest data, adhering to all applicable regulations, and is consent-based, offering transparency and trust with simple opt-out options for guests, said the company.
Marriott International executive vice president and chief customer officer Peggy Roe said: 'Today's travellers expect personalisation and welcome thoughtful discovery. Marriott Media is designed to enrich, not interrupt, serving guests content, recommendations, and offers in ways that feel natural, relevant, and aligned with their travel experience.
'I'm excited to announce Chris Norton, senior vice president of marketing, data activation and personalisation, will lead this bold initiative and serve as the general manager for Marriott Media.'
The network will offer tailored brand experiences across Marriott-owned digital platforms, encompassing the Marriott Bonvoy app and Marriott.com, as well as in-room experiences, third-party websites, and social platforms.
Marriott Media has already conducted an initial pilot with select brands, which include Visa, PepsiCo, Uber and American Express.
Marriott Media eliminates the gap between advertiser content and native Marriott content. This includes tailored recommendations before arrival, personalised experiences within the room, and reengagement after stay, offering impressions and offers.
The network plans to expand into markets worldwide, ensuring localised experiences, cultural relevance, and brand safety by design, as branded content is tailored for the Marriott traveller journey.
"Marriott Media aims to enhance brand engagement for travellers" was originally created and published by Hotel Management Network, a GlobalData owned brand.

Byron Allen and McDonald's Reach Settlement in Lawsuit Over Black-Owned Media Advertising Pledge
McDonald's has settled its $10 billion lawsuit levied by Byron Allen and his media companies over black-owned media advertising pledges. The settlement was reached Friday between the fast food company and Allen's companies Entertainment Studios Network and the Weather Group. The settlement both dodges the upcoming July 15 court trial and also resolves claims made in a separate but related $100 million lawsuit against the company. 'We are pleased that Mr. Allen has come to appreciate McDonald's unwavering commitment to inclusion, and has agreed to refocus his energies on a mutually beneficial commercial arrangement that is consistent with other McDonald's supplier relationships,' McDonald's said in a statement. 'Our company's unique three-legged stool model relies on mutual respect, and we look forward to ESN's contributions to the betterment of our system.' Byron's pair of media companies Entertainment Studios Network and Weather Group also commented on the settlement. During the course of this litigation, many of our preconceptions have been clarified, and we acknowledge McDonald's commitment to investing in Black-owned media properties and increasing access to opportunity,' their statement read. 'Our differences are behind us, and we look forward to working together.' The original lawsuit came out of 2021 pledge by McDonald's to more than double its spending on American media companies and production shops owned by Black, Asian, Latino, female and LGBTQ people, as well as individual content creators, by the end of 2024. Allen's lawsuit came in 2023 and called this a 'lie' and 'false promise,' largely due to what it argued was insufficient spending on Allen's companies in particular. In February 2024, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has dismissed the $100 million lawsuit filed citing California's anti-SLAPP laws. Judge Mel Recana noted that the suit was filed nearly 2 years before McDonald's self-imposed deadline, and as such called the accusations within it 'purely speculative.'
