mcgarrybowen Celebrates Fun for Courtyard by Marriott
Posted in: Uncategorizedmcgarrybowen has a new campaign for Courtyard by Marriott entitled “Make Room for a Little Fun,” which launched last week.
Aimed at millenials, the campaign is based on the insight that the demographic loves to travel (as opposed to those who see travel as a necessity for work). The strategy is readily apparent in the spot “Cattle Drive) (above). In it, an excited young man rides up and approaches a cattle driver who seems to be slogging through his day, offering him a caffeinated pick-me-up and noting the “sweet” free wi-fi. Other spots in the campaign take the humorous approach to the Yukon, an antiquated carriage, and a Viking ship. Each spot delivers the message “Some people have to travel for work. Some people get to travel for work,” followed by the “Make Room for a Little Fun” tagline.
Each spot was captured on-location in Norway, making use of the country’s varying landscapes. The campaign marks a shift in approach for the brand, as its humor is a stark contrast from past campaigns, which targeted a different demographic. Stick around for “Vikings” and “Yukon” after the jump. (more…)
