Marriott International

Marriott International brought us in to provide creative integrity to their internal communications, following their merger with Starwood Hotels.
Marriott is an organisation of hotels that prides itself on its family values. This appeals to us greatly, and our working relationship has continued to this day. From films outlining their employee appreciation, to outward-facing content designed to attract new guests, we’ve helped Marriott grow their brand. Our films also communicate to others the latest developments in Marriott International hotels.
We bring out the best in their team members, and shine a light on the company culture that makes them feel looked after. We work with executives to produce films that clearly update others in the company on the latest figures and focuses for different parts of the year.
Over the years, Cloud9Media have had the pleasure of being their film partner in the creation of executive profile pieces, and also an array of films that put the spotlight on their associates and company culture, helping them clearly communicate the nature of their employer brand.
We make our films with the same care and attention they put into their hotels. We work closely with the brand the ensure their messaging is just right.

One of a series of films that we conceived, shot and edited, as part of a global campaign to launch Marriott‘s loyalty programme Bonvoy.

Across the campaign there were 183 million opportunities created to see our material.

Continuing our partnership with Marriott, we had the chance to make a film for Liam Brown, the new President and Managing Director in Europe for Marriott International, introducing himself to 43,000 associates.
Using a combination of fun, quick-fire questions and a more formal interview straight down the lens, we got to know Liam, from his vision for Marriott’s next chapter, to his guilty pleasures.
Working with a simple 3 person crew plus director, and the full participation of the fantastic St Pancras Renaissance hotel staff, we went to work capturing Liam in his element, doing what he does best – connecting with his people and bringing them together.

We produced a longer film for their intranet and a 1-minute version for Instagram.

This short film is part of a suite of films created for Marriott International to run on International Women’s Day.
Brought from around the world, we interviewed three successful women from across the business at their luxurious Hyde Park Towers, to hear about their rise to power and the continued support they have received from this “family” based organisation.

“They always make the impossible happen… They are creative, smart, hard working and, most importantly, fun to work with! Thanks for all the good times and the incredible films.”
