Happiest Huddle Ever
Client: Hampton
Brief: For more than 2,700 attendees, Hampton aimed to create a nontraditional corporate conference at their biennial Ultimate GM Huddle in Orlando. All activities and engagements for the General Managers needed to encompass Hampton’s unique company culture, Hamptonality and reinforce the conference narrative of happiness and play. The launch of Hampton’s 100% Happiness Guarantee and personalized brand touch-points inspired attendees to take the huddle’s momentum back to their hotel teams.
