“Through this campaign, we wanted to turn our travelers into Bed Heads who can get a great night of sleep while away from home and enjoy the gleeful, rumpled look of sleeping soundly - and that is exactly what this campaign accomplished,” said Judy Christa-Cathey, vice president, Hampton brand marketing. “We are delighted with this recognition from the Promotion Marketing Association, and we look forward to launching more innovative and exciting campaigns in the years to come.”
