The brief

Open Element Melbourne Richmond with a bang and make sure the property stood out from the crowd.

The Challenge

With multiple new openings in Melbourne, the hotel had a lot of competition.

Our Approach

  • In addition to our pre-opening PR activity and opening/ribbon-cutting event, GTI organised a community block party to open the hotel in style
  • Brought the brand and hotel’s USPs to life through mini activations throughout the hotel, including a pedal-powered media wall, a dog grooming station, a cooking demonstration and Heavenly bed display
  • Secured Melbourne’s media and influencer elite, including Laura Henshaw, Jules Lund, Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews to attend the event
  • Reached the masses through a Sunrise segment on the hotel’s pet friendly amenities
  • Generated scores of hotel reviews through a series of famils

The results

  • 422 pieces of coverage
  • Reach of 36,100,000
  • AVE of AUD$384,000
  • 40+ media and influencers attended launch event
