Nobox Leads the Creation of Marriott's Innovative Marketing Program with GoPro


Nobox, a leading social marketing agency, is the creative force behind the innovative marketing program between Marriott Hotels, Marriott International's flagship brand, and GoPro (News - Alert). "Our creative goal is to engage Marriott's guests and empower them to share richer, more immersive content," said Jayson Fittipaldi, Chief Creative Officer of Nobox. "Ultimately, the surprise and delight that guests who participate experience and the amazing content that they are sharing with the world continues to elevate the Marriott Hotels brand among Millennial travelers. The alchemy of putting GoPro's in the hands of eager guests have resulted in social marketing gold for Marriott."

This match made in "marketing heaven", invites Marriott Hotels guests to take GoPro HERO4 cameras for a "test-drive" and capture their travel experiences in a richer, more immersive way. Guests are encouraged to share on social media using the hashtags #GoPro, #TravelBrilliantly, and #ViajeGenial for a chance to be featured on www.travelbrilliantly.com/gopro, Marriott's social media profiles, and even on a dedicated TV channel in the in-room entertainment system of participating hotels. To celebrate the launch of the program, the most inspiring content submitted by guests will be selected to win prizes such as vacation stays, Marriott Rewards points and GoPro cameras.

"Travelers tend to be more active in social media during and after their trips because it elevates their profile. That said, smartphones will not capture our most adventurous travel experiences like parasailing, diving, etc. Combining Marriott and GoPro creates a perfect setting for Human-to-Human marketing; transforming happy customers into a brand ambassador," said Carlos Garcia, CEO of Nobox.

"This program is a perfect example of how Marriott continues to innovate and attract the next generation of travelers," said Craig S. Smith, President of the Caribbean and Latin America at Marriott International. "Nobox's continuous contribution to our success has transcended the scope of a social marketing agency to become Marriott's creative agency for the region." The execution of this program spans across many touch-points beyond digital and social. Most notably, the program is embedded in the hotel experience and has dedicated Marriott associates at every participating hotel. Nobox even created a program management tool for Marriott associates to keep track of GoPro cameras and engage participating guests at the property level.
