Developed by Draftfcb and Hall Event Group, the “Proud to Be a Bed Head” program was built through a truly integrated agency effort that used a combination of traditional and non-traditional mediums to support the 360-degree-marketing plan spanning television, print, Internet, direct mail, experiential and public relations.

“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.”
