Wyndham Launches First-Ever Unified Brand Campaign
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has rolled out a new advertising campaign titled “Where There’s a Wyndham, There’s a Way.” This strategic initiative marks the first time the hospitality giant has unified its 25 brands under a single marketing message, aiming to strengthen customer loyalty and brand recognition.
Bringing 25 Brands Under One Identity
The campaign serves as a significant milestone for Wyndham, which is the world’s largest hotel franchising company by number of properties. By linking all of its varied brands—from budget-friendly options like Super 8 to upscale stays like Wyndham Grand—under one tagline, the company is attempting to create a more cohesive identity. This move is expected to help customers recognize the breadth of Wyndham’s offerings more easily and encourage repeat stays across different properties within the brand family.
“This is more than just a marketing moment,” said Lisa Checchio, Chief Marketing Officer at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “It’s a strategic alignment of our entire portfolio to make Wyndham the preferred choice for travelers, regardless of their budget or trip purpose.”
Focus on Building Customer Loyalty
The campaign is part of a larger push to grow the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program, which already includes over 100 million enrolled members. By highlighting the range of options available within the Wyndham umbrella, the company hopes to encourage travelers to stay within its network, thus earning more rewards and enhancing customer retention.
“Travelers today want value and flexibility,” Checchio said. “By showcasing that there’s a Wyndham for every type of traveler in every location, we’re reinforcing the idea that our guests don’t need to look elsewhere.”
Multi-Channel Marketing Strategy
The campaign includes a variety of media placements, from television and digital video ads to social media content and out-of-home advertising. Initial TV spots began airing across national networks, featuring real-life travel scenarios that demonstrate how Wyndham hotels meet a variety of needs—from family vacations to business travel.
Social media efforts are also a central part of the campaign. Wyndham is leveraging platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook to reach a broader audience, particularly younger travelers who are increasingly influencing travel trends. Influencer partnerships and user-generated content are expected to play a key role in spreading the campaign’s message organically.
Data-Driven Targeting and Performance Metrics
Wyndham is using advanced data analytics to target its messaging more effectively. By analyzing customer behavior and preferences, the company aims to tailor communications that resonate with specific demographics and travel patterns. The performance of the campaign will be closely monitored through key performance indicators (KPIs) such as engagement rates, brand recall, and loyalty program sign-ups.
“Data is central to our strategy,” said Checchio. “We’re not just launching a campaign and hoping it works—we’re continuously measuring its impact and optimizing where necessary.”
Industry Context and Competitive Landscape
Wyndham’s campaign comes at a time when the hospitality industry is experiencing a steady rebound from the travel disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Travelers are increasingly looking for trusted brands that offer consistent experiences across multiple price points. With competitors like Marriott and Hilton also investing heavily in loyalty programs and brand unification strategies, Wyndham’s latest move is seen as a timely effort to stay competitive.
Analysts suggest that consolidating brand messaging can significantly improve consumer trust and increase bookings. “Loyalty is built on familiarity,” said John Smith, a hospitality industry analyst. “If travelers know what to expect from a Wyndham property anywhere in the world, they’re more likely to choose the brand again.”
Looking Ahead
As the campaign gains traction, Wyndham plans to expand its reach with localized versions in international markets and additional creative assets tailored to seasonal travel trends. The company also plans to integrate feedback from customers and franchisees to continually refine its messaging.
“This is just the beginning,” Checchio concluded. “We’re redefining what it means to stay with Wyndham, and we’re excited to see how travelers respond.”
