About the campaign

Fohr built a creator program for Marriott Bonvoy around passion, and the work drove 900K+ link clicks. The brief was to look past demographics and cast creators by what they care about most. Marriott was placed in the story as the brand that makes those moments possible.

The agency chose creators who live for the game, the show or the moment. Casting rested on that visible passion instead of on the demographic profile of each audience. The agency then asked every creator to share how Marriott makes those moments possible. The agency says the resulting content felt real, and that audiences responded to it.

The agency reports 900K+ link clicks from the creator content. The same work earned 103.6M impressions. Audience sentiment toward the content was 96% positive.

Case in 60 seconds

Demographic casting describes who an audience is but not what it cares about, so Fohr went past demographics for Marriott Bonvoy to find creators who live for the game, the show and the moment.

Audiences respond to a creator's passion for an event because that passion is already part of the relationship, so a brand placed inside that moment reads to them as part of the story.

Marriott Bonvoy enters as the brand that makes the moment possible, with each creator asked to share how Marriott makes possible the game, the show or the moment they already live for.

Fohr cast creators for passion instead of demographics, choosing people who live for the game, the show or the moment, and asked each of them to share how Marriott makes those moments possible.

Fohr reports 900K+ link clicks and 103.6M impressions for the work, along with 96% positive sentiment, figures the agency presents as audiences responding to content that felt real.

Strategy Breakdown

Fans who share a passion for the game, the show or the moment that the cast creators live for.
Marriott acts as the enabler of the moment, the brand that makes a game, a show or a moment possible, while the creator's own passion carries the story.
Fans respond to a creator who lives for the same game or show because shared passion signals that the content is real, which is the reason Fohr gives for the response it reports.

Why Fohr's strategy worked

  1. 1

    Casting on visible passion for a game, a show or a moment gives a brand creators whose enthusiasm is already credible, so the brand message borrows a conviction the audience has watched build over time.

  2. 2

    Framing the brand as what makes a creator's moment possible keeps the creator at the centre of the story, which lets the brand appear in the content without displacing the thing the audience came for.
