HSMAI recognizes Renaissance Hollywood Hotel with Gold Adrian Award

NEW YORK, NY - The Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) recognized the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel with a Gold Award for advertising excellence for materials created through Strausberg Advertising/Design.

The Hotel received the Gold Award for the its Group Sales Collateral. An exuberant expression of the property's colorful Hollywood style, the collateral combines beautiful photography, stylized copy concepts, and mid-century modern design elements to make an overwhelming first impression.

The sales kit was developed as part of a complete marketing campaign that launched the new Hotel. Strausberg's creative team worked directly with the hotel designers during construction to infuse the property brand with the right look and tone.

Not only were the Hotel's marketing materials highly-stylized and unique, they brought results within a limited budget. The property has consistently been a chain-wide leader in Group Sales, and boasts the #1 property site within the entire Marriott family for web traffic and bookings, at www.renaissancehollywood.com.

Strausberg Advertising/Design is a boutique, L.A.-based Agency specializing in the marketing of tourism and real estate.

HSMAI paid tribute to Renaissance Hollywood Hotel and Strausberg during the 15th annual HSMAI Adrian Awards Show - a gala black-tie dinner held at the New York Marriott Marquis, which was attended by more than 700 industry and marketing executives. The dinner was the finale of the 2004 HSMAI Adrian Awards Competition, the largest and most prestigious travel event of its kind in the world, now in its 47th year. This year's contest attracted more than 1,350 entries from 45 countries and destinations around the world, with entries judged by teams of experts from all sectors of the industry.
