3. Brand History
Graduate Hotels® started in 2014 and has expanded from coast to
coast. Graduate Eugene focuses on heritage, history, and
hominess in each individual hotel, room, and event, that is
apparent at every location. Graduate Hotels always show off their
grade-A style without looking like a teacher’s pet.

5. Problem
A lack of connection between the local Eugene community and the college
students attending University of Oregon.
Of the 168,916 people living in Eugene, roughly 71,840 are college students.

57% 43%
6. Solution
Graduate Eugene Hotel will be a multifunctional hotel for the community. Each month, Graduate
Eugene will host an event that ties the interest of the community with the interest of college
students. Every event will either be to collaborate or to celebrate with the community in some
way.

Facebook Updates
Facebook will be used to help
inform Graduate Eugene followers
about the upcoming events that
are being held. This will also be a
way to communicate with other
event-goers, bring up new ideas
on who (or what!) to collaborate
and celebrate, and create a solid
community within Graduate
Hotels.

Why Clovie?
Clovie is a local Eugene artists who
specializes in chalk art. This is a perfect
example on how Graduate Eugene is being
holistic with this slogan. We would be able to
celebrate and collaborate with Clovie while
she helps us promote our September (and
many more) events.

Hyatt - pricewise: very similar rates to Graduate; Hyatt is large and well known as a company - established membership/ rewards program which is attractive to customers
Ace - boutique hotel in portland, very similar to Graduate (both focused on incorporating aspects of the culture of the town or city they are located in); a bit more expensive and a little smaller
Matthew Knight - hosts a large amount of events; engages with mostly U of O community but also community of Eugene

Local Artist engagement - she has done chalk art for local breweries and events
Core value of collaboration
There will be chalk art during the parade encouraging people to head to Graduate Eugene after the parade for the event
Kenyon
Out of the overall budget, about $6,000 per month on average - includes all advertising (will be higher when getting the message out initially, and has the potential to vary month to month)
For this specific event, #GraduteIsPetFriendly it is estimated to cost a little over $1,000
Kenyon
Check marks = #GraduateIs as an overall campaign
Different Icons = the specific ads for the event of that month
I am digging it
