Synopsis

The state of the art in hospitality digital marketing involves engaging guests more proactively — sometimes before they even think about connecting with you. That’s a major takeaway from two of the big winners in HSMAI’s 2018 Adrian Awards competition, which recently honored creativity and innovation in hospitality advertising, digital marketing, and public relations. Robert Gilbert, President of HSMAI, walks us through these award-wining performances.
