With its latest campaign, Marriott Bonvoy is still having to adapt to a new travel landscape and  is calling on the world to embrace the transformative power of travel as a vital pathway to growth, healing, and unity. With its new campaign, the company is moving away from its traditional business-traveler consumers and instead shifting platform spend to appeal to younger and leisure-focused travelers.Marriott Bonvoy and Pinterest worked together to created out-of-home digital billboards highlighting Pinterest’s travel data in two Soho storefronts, as well as a four-question in-app quiz that guides would-be travelers to their dream trip. The billboards display real-time travel data from the social media hub highlighting what travel terms people are searching for, as well as a QR code that leads consumers to the quiz on Pinterest’s mobile app. This partnership was the first to use Pinterest’s technology in an out-of-home placement.Over the past two months, Marriott has invested in digital media — from shoppable CTV on Hulu Gateway Go to a 27-influencer-large campaign on TikTok. Going forward, the hospitality group will enter gaming, both in in-game ads and through a partnership with Twitch. The campaign aired during the NBA Finals, and also symbolically during the Olympics, the world’s biggest stage for global unity and connection. Additional efforts span globally over the next few months across streaming and key collective viewing moments on television, in-flight entertainment, digital, social, and out of home placements to spark community and connection.To reignite the spirit of travel, people around the world are invited to join the conversation and connect with one another by sharing their memories of how #TravelMakesUs on Instagram and TikTok.
