Objective

A hotel brand that is serious about play, Moxy Hotels set out to captivate the attention on social media of its target guest, the Fun Hunter, a traveler that shares a playful spirit that makes them young at heart, whether they’re 26 or 76.

Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg is a brand new hotel. The idea driving the work for an influencer staying at the new Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg hotel revolved around showcasing the unique blend of the playful, modern design, vibrant culture, and trendy atmosphere that epitomizes both the Moxy brand and the Williamsburg neighborhood.

To generate mass awareness and to drive engagements of this brand new hotel in Moxy's portfolio, Moxy partnered with @frankvinyl, a trendy travel influencer that rollerskates through life and is exceptional at creating top-notch transitions in her content.
