"Dog Days Of Summer" Pet Friendly Hotel Campaign with Boo!

Entered in Facebook Campaign, Ambassador & Celebrity Campaign

Objectives

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas - Boo "Worlds Cutest Dog" Facebook Campaign

We targeted Boo, "The World's Cutest Dog" for a media visit to promote a summer package "The Dog Days of Summer". We offered a free penthouse stay in exchange for editorial photography rights and a social media post on Boo's very popular Facebook page. That post is here: http://goo.gl/QrlqEJ

In advance of their stay, we commissioned a plush dog bed, robe and slippers (which we now sell in our Trump Store) that we gifted to Boo as an amenity.




Strategy and Execution

The ROI on this campaign was astronomical. 17 million impressions and 16.3 million mentions, tied to the popularity of "Boo" we branded ourselves as the trendsetting pet friendly hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.

The "Dog Days Of Summer" campaign was a huge success for us, servicing approximately 150 pets over the course of the summer.
