Content Strategy
From traditional travel magazines to user-generated sites and influencer profiles, there is certainly no shortage of travel content available to the luxury traveler — and the way people plan travel today is far from linear. Our content strategy positioned The Ritz-Carlton as an arbiter of experiential travel and a fast-paced publisher of timely, relevant and helpful content via its content hub, The Journey. By following a cohesive content strategy that enables content from social media, The Journey and RitzCarlton.com to work together, The Ritz-Carlton effectively engages and guides customers from the inspiration stage to the planning stage, ultimately driving conversions on the hotel website.
Editorial Planning
With brand partnerships, regional initiatives and 108 properties worldwide, there is a lot to share about The Ritz-Carlton — and a lot of marketing channels to fuel. We partner closely with the brand and social teams to plan an editorial calendar rooted in seasonal, trend-focused stories that serve the brand’s various marketing priorities — and that put the customer’s needs first. We plot out pieces that keep email and social channels buzzing and fill the brand site with compelling, regularly refreshed content.
CONTENT PROGRAM RESULTS
Content & Social Media
A great travel site should offer more than the usual roundup of must-see attractions and restaurant recommendations. To create content that converts, C/A taps top travel writers fluent in rich storytelling to share unique travel experiences, giving readers insight into what makes a particular destination a must-visit — and why a Ritz-Carlton property is the place to make the most of it all. All content leads with captivating, social media-friendly imagery and video that allows readers to imagine themselves in these remarkable destinations.
Branding & Collateral
For residents and guests of The Ritz-Carlton Residences and The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, C/A created a series of collateral that ties back to the brand’s legendary service. Working within the existing Ritz-Carlton brand standards, we designed special occasion notecards, in-room amenity menus and destination-inspired recipe cards to help foster each property’s connection with its guests.
Hotel & Resort Websites
We craft precise and evocative copy for The Ritz-Carlton property websites, showcasing the unique experiences each destination offers. Our writing highlights the suites and villas, rejuvenating spas and other exceptional amenities, with a special focus on the culinary experiences that set each property apart. Adhering to the brand’s sophisticated style and tone, our copy captures the essence of each location, enticing potential guests with vivid descriptions and compelling storytelling. We collaborate closely with properties around the world to ensure that each website reflects the distinct charm its locale. This global perspective allows us to maintain a consistent yet tailored approach, enhancing the allure of this prestigious brand.
