Accorhotels.com has to be considered as a real online distributor specialist of its hotels offering the best prices and services. It’s not an additionnal way to book a room. It’s THE way. 4.THE CONSUMER REALITY FOMO - Fear of missing out - is the new consumer reality. Nowadays, having the choice is no longer a solution but a factor of stress, doubt and confusion. That’s why Accor has a specific mission of reassurance to play for ‘lost’ consumers, via its online distributor: Accorhotels.com. 5.THE STRATEGIC IDEA Reassure consumers on the accuracy of the choice. As a matter of fact, who better than a hotel expert to distribute its own hotels? A simple promise: At Accorhotels.com, there is no guesswork, only guarantees. And 3 proofs: Best rates, best offers and last room available on Accorhotels.com. A new brand-positioning signature: «Know what you are really booking, when you book.» 6.THE OBJECTIVES QUALITATIVE ‣ Raise awareness of the Accorhotels.com brand ‣ Reassure on the core mission of Accor: a specialist of the hospitality industry QUANTITATIVE ‣ Increase traffic on the Accorhotels.com platform ‣ Generate business with the “emergency to book” message supported on TV 7.THE CAMPAIGN ‣ In a very client centric approach, the idea was to put ourselves at people’s place and to rely on their expectations, fears, doubts. ‣ In order to optimize the emergence of the campaign, the creative angle is also specific as it stands out of the usual hospitality communications that tend to push destinations or hotel pictures. ‣ The creation was also thought out to be adaptable, so that each key market could adjust and adapt it.
