Hospitality Trends 2020

1 like•49 views
Romain Baron outlines several trends in the hospitality industry for 2020: 1) Women-only services and products like gyms and hotels are growing in popularity. 2) Small, unique brands are preferred over local suppliers just for the sake of being local - the brands need to be genuinely better. 3) Sustainability is a major focus, with demands for palm-free, plastic-free, organic, and fair trade options as well as environmental protection. 4) Hotels need to provide much higher value for direct bookings rather than just price matching OTAs.

Brand Storytelling in The Times of Covid
I co-animated a webinar with Shlomi Ron at the start of the pandemic. Branding in times of covid is challenging but necessary to maintain communication with customers. We demonstrate how using the storytelling technique, choosing the appropriate brand archetype, and conveying a human message, set brands apart. More importantly, brands are demonstrating that they care and not abandoning their clients.

The New Strategy to Create a New Generation of Bullfighting Fans: The Bullfig...Plataforma La Tortura No Es Cultura
The bullfighting lobby, in their attempt to safeguard an activity that is everyday more rejected by Spaniards have started to play their foul game: indoctrinate children at schools in bullfighting. This documents inform on all the different aspects of this strategy and asks citizens to contribute to stop this madness. Trash Karma Infographic
For a copywriting course, our brief was to create a social media campaign to attract youth for a local creek cleanup. Me and my partner Bri Fadeff created this campaign titled Trash Karma.
Inspirational email marketing; Red C's Email Marketing WOW Book
At Red C we are immensely proud of our work in email marketing. Through our ‘under the skin’ philosophy and plenty of marketing know how we have helped our client deliver effective email campaigns that deliver exceptional results.
We create 100s and pour over 1000s of emails every month. And because we love emails so much, we thought it’d be a great idea to compile some of our favourites in this neat little book. Whether it’s through enticing copy, standout design or brilliant strategy – each one the emails we’ve selected have stopped us in our tracks and made us say “WOW”.
So here it is, The Red C Email Marketing WOW Book. We hope it inspires you!
Ignition 5 25.08.14
This document provides summaries of several recent TV campaigns and advertisements:
- User-generated campaigns by Coca-Cola and Miller Lite featured content submitted by fans.
- A parody ad by First Bank portrayed a family overly reliant on technology like Google Glass at the dinner table.
- Lynx's new campaign focuses on helping men become their best selves rather than just attracting women.
- AIAIAI made a interactive banner ad to test claims that banners are unlikely to be clicked.
- A Gatorade ad starred Peyton Manning as a store manager who wouldn't sell the drink unless customers were sweaty.
Digital storytelling at Comic Relief - Naomi Jacobs at ECF Europe 2017
Digital storytelling was used at Comic Relief to engage audiences and raise money for their causes in innovative ways. They created interactive digital stories for Red Nose Day and Sport Relief fundraising campaigns to increase understanding, empathy and engagement. Examples included interactivestory.rednoseday.com in 2015 and Hassan.rednoseday.com in 2017. Their process involved forming product teams to test ideas, prototype stories, and iterate based on user testing feedback before launch, with the goal of simplifying the experiences. Challenges included internal resources and marketing pressures, while opportunities were in gaining recognition to expand the model, and learning from user testing results.
A (personal) Communication View
The document discusses how to effectively connect and engage with target consumers like Pepe. It notes that people are saturated with media and advertising and have short attention spans. Brands need to find ways to be part of consumers' conversations by being interesting and interactive through any media that connects with them, rather than relying on traditional broadcast advertising. The key is determining what will capture Pepe's attention and be relevant in starting conversations around the brand's values.

Creating a Buzz..
The document outlines a marketing strategy for an energy drink called "Can" that focuses on user empowerment, transparency, and collaboration. It involves giving consumers a direct line to provide feedback, user-generated content, and customization options. The goal is to build trust and create buzz by satisfying customers and gaining insights from them. A variety of media like magazines, TV, film, websites, and user videos would be used to promote this message and the energy drink.
Best or next!
This document provides a critique and rating of various corporate social responsibility campaigns on a scale of 1 to 10.
McDonald's campaign to help Spanish farmers by sourcing ingredients for a new burger is rated 2/10, as the critique argues it is more about brokering ingredients for profit than true social responsibility.
Lacoste's campaign allowing customers to donate clothing with delivery orders is rated 3/10, as the critique notes it was only available for a short time and targeted existing customers.
TOMS is analyzed and rated 7/10, with the critique concluding its buy-one-donate-one model is more a marketing strategy than social responsibility, though it fulfills its mission of charity
Ambient Advertising
The document discusses ambient advertising, an innovative marketing technique that grabs consumer attention through unusual mediums in unexpected times and places. It has grown in popularity as more brands seek new ways to break through advertising clutter. While ambient ads can be creative and memorable, the document also notes they must be implemented responsibly and avoid invading private spaces or overexposing consumers in order to be effective and avoid potential backlash.
"Conversation management Manage word-of-mouth to increase business value" for...
1) People talk a lot both online and offline, and conversations influence others. Brands should focus on managing conversations and acting human rather than relying on social media strategies.
2) Creating shareable stories and helping customers are more important than new technologies. Kindness and positive experiences generate word-of-mouth.
3) A company gave an elephant live birth coverage generating over a million online viewers and increased zoo visitors by 28%. The shareable story engaged people for months.

Cameron Uganec - Humans First: 4 Rules to Simplify Your Marketing Strategy
1. The document provides 4 rules for simplifying marketing strategy: put humans first, fall in love with customer problems, see humanity as enduring not a trend, and embrace social evolution.
2. It discusses how brands like Airbnb, AccorHotels, and others focus on human needs like relationships, social belonging, trust, and empathy in their marketing.
3. The key takeaway is that focusing on universal human motivations through listening, relationships, community, and trust will lead to winning marketing strategies, while short-term technology solutions are distracting.
Mma #toptensocial 27.07.2011
This document summarizes a debate on social networking in South Africa. Some of the key topics discussed include how people portray themselves differently online than in person, the importance of brands having a social media presence to engage with customers, challenges like negative customer feedback or "diva" customers, debates around buying followers or likes on social media, and questions around who should manage brand communities and customer check-ins. The moderator concludes that with the complex human variable in social media, there are no simple conclusions to these issues.
Hotels Go Social Strategy by Preetam Jaiswal
I have just completed a social media guide dedicated to hotels...with content ideas that can help differentiate your business. Please share your feedback with me at kmrpreetam@gmail.com
Lesson 14 Advertising
This lesson teaches students about advertising by having them study examples of advertisements. Students will learn to identify the purpose and techniques of advertising, become aware of advertising's presence in daily life, and discuss how advertising has evolved and influenced art over time. The lesson also reviews vocabulary, grammar concepts, and involves analyzing and discussing an advertisement for Amal schools on the Internet.
Sorry For The Interruption
The document discusses how advertising has traditionally relied on interruption but this is becoming less effective as consumers now have more control over their media consumption. It notes the immense amount of advertising the average Indian is exposed to across different media and how this clutter makes it difficult for brands to stand out. New technologies like DVR allow consumers to skip advertisements, further reducing their impact. The document argues that brands need to move beyond traditional ads and find new ways to engage consumers through value-added content, activation programs, and embracing new media technologies.

Brave marketers needed.
I put together some practical tips and examples of marketing in times of Corona. I hope you find it useful.
And this is not just about marketers. COVID-19 is probably the biggest test of leadership in recent times.
Remember how your leaders behave now because this is where the rubber hits the road. We have elections in 2020 and 2021 worldwide. Most notably, in the US, Germany, France, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and many other countries. Choose wisely.
And stay safe!

Accessing students
Currently the student market is a thriving segmented area which is constantly changing and moving and is proven to be highly profitable.
They might lead a fast paced lifestyle but don’t be fooled! They are very careful with the expenditure and can loose interest at a click of a finger.
So it is crucial that business’s adapt to maintain interest, and demand through their marketing. Fortunately there are some key tools which will help gain and retain students.
The worst PPT I've ever seen
This is without a doubt, the worst presentation I have ever seen. An agency (name hidden to protect privacy) walked in and presented this gem to us over 45 minutes that I will never ever be able to recover.
What started out as a BTL activity pitch for a daily deals site (Groupon India), morphed into the world's worst crash course in marketing.
There is a something bizarre on each and every slide. Enjoy.
Young Marketers 2 - A.O.A
The campaign aims to normalize condom use among young people in Vietnam by promoting a message of empowerment and responsibility.
The campaign will use viral marketing like a mobile app game and social media to reach its target audience of 18-24 year olds and encourage condom use. Outdoor advertising on buses and in universities will feature the campaign message "You are not alone."
The objectives are to make "ICondom" a common phrase, reduce stigma around condom use, and increase condom demand among young people to improve public health outcomes.

Thorns
The document provides guidance on marketing strategies to compete effectively. It discusses six key strategies represented by the letters in THORNS: [1] Targeting the right market and message; [2] Hitting competitors where it hurts through comparative advertising; [3] Obsessing over customer ecstasy and societal impact; [4] Reinventing products constantly for changing markets; [5] Nailing the product in consumers' minds with a memorable message. Successful brands use these THORNS strategies to stand out, aggressively target audiences, and stay ahead of competitors.
Branded Video
The document discusses various online advertising formats like banner ads, microsites, viral videos, and social media optimization. It notes that while banner ads were initially effective, their effectiveness has declined with new formats like social media. Microsites are often poorly designed and fail to incentivize return visits. Viral videos need to be simple enough for people to edit and share but Indian viral videos typically have low views. Social media requires understanding where target audiences engage rather than just creating accounts. The conclusion advocates for branded videos and content to build engaged audiences rather than treat people as mere consumers.

The strategy aims to make Fun City the natural choice for family entertainment.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
