What is brand advertising?

Brand advertising encompasses all marketing activities aimed at strengthening a hotel's brand image and awareness and increasing brand recognition. This includes paid advertising, social media activities, public relations and the creation of brand messages and experiences. In this way, brand advertising enables hotels to showcase their offerings to attract and retain guests.

Successful brand advertising in the hospitality industry

Creating a consistent brand identity is critical to the success of brand advertising in the hospitality industry. It is about choosing a consistent visual language, matching colors and fonts, and following a clear line of communication that differentiates the hotel from the competition.

The most important questions about hotel brand advertising:

Digital channels such as social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram), search engine marketing (Google Ads) and display advertising are effective ways to increase the reach and visibility of a hotel brand. In addition, offline channels such as print ads, billboards and radio advertising can be useful. Channels for brand advertising will vary depending on the target audience.
