The target should be not only the increase of notoriety of each Hotel and of the entire group, but more, the increase of annual revenue of the companies and the increase of the profit. With a forecast of 10% increase in the annual revenue and 10% increase in profit, this was the biggest challenge for People PR Agency: to add at least 5 % to the profit and to add 10% in the annual revenue.

Alongside we had to manage (with an overall analysis, a series of interviews and internal communication trainings and presentations) the internal branding and communication for over 100 employees in order to prepare the employees for the new branding and PR Campaign.
We also had to develop the branding (excepting the logos). With a fabulous launching of the Hotel Group, focused on the flag - ship Hotel of the Group (International Sinaia Hotel) we brought together the main journalists in a press weekend-trip and in the same weekend we had the official launching event for VIPs and businessmen.
This was just the start of the entire campaign that was a mix of Magazine Advertising (in glossy magazines and in business magazines and newspapers)m, online advertising and social media pr. We also associated the Hotels’ image with public figures from sport, entertainment and business environment, generating thousands of media impressions.
