Continuing our partnership with Marriott, Cloud9Media 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.

This film was created to kick off Marriott’s annual all-staff conference. Using all the tricks in the book to condense a year of success into two exciting minutes. Hold on tight!

Tasked with shooting five short films to help the merger of Marriott hotels staff on to one loyalty system, we went about putting contributors at ease, working with Simon Yates – Marriott Client Liaison & Internal Comms Manager, to develop a script that would get important information across while keeping up the interest.

This film, our first in the series has already had an 80% higher rate of engagement than previous films. Marriott were delighted with the end product.
