Short Example (not for student use)
Your client is the SLS Lux Brickell Hotel and Residence in Miami.
Your research shows that this all-suite, chic hotel targets luxury lovers and locals. It has world-class décor, unforgettable food, in-room soaking tubs, pool deck, spa, gym and free yoga.
Your situation analysis finds that COVID-19 has sharply decreased the average number of nightly stays at the hotel. It needs a COVID-safe holiday special to improve sales.
Your big idea: Offer local couples a Valentine’s Day staycation for one night. The offer includes food and champagne delivered to the room, access to the socially distanced and sanitized pool deck and gym, a private yoga session, and a $250 spa voucher.
The goal: Increase room occupancy by 50%.
Your choice of social media – Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, plus Tik Tok for extra credit.
Your hashtag is #SLSBrickellVDay2021.
Social media posts will go out at noon on Mondays starting one month before Valentine’s Day.
