Energetic, Award-winning Ad Agency And Hilton Franchise Join Forces To Take Branding To A

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 27, 2009 – BBG&G, a multi-award-winning advertising and PR agency serving clients throughout the Hudson Valley, is proud to announce that it has recently become the “agency of record” for Homewood Suites by Hilton at Stewart Airport. BBG&G has contracted with Homewood Suites to develop a unique brand for their highly innovative, total comfort facility and to handle all of their marketing and public relations needs and assist in their efforts to strengthen ties within the community and with key business partners.

“June and the staff at BBG&G have become a part of our team” says Kathy Russo, General Manager at Homewood Suites/Stewart. “They’ve really come inside and made our business their business. By believing in our goals and understanding our vision, we feel they are the best choice to deliver our message — not to mention the talent in the agency.”

Says BBG&G Principal June Bisel, “Homewood Suites is an upscale, all-suite, residential-style hotel which, in the short time since it opened, has already received highly-coveted ‘outstanding’ Quality Assurance Evaluation scores from its parent company. The team at Homewood Suites works incredibly hard to ensure they provide the ultimate in comfort and service to their visitors and to become a steadfast partner within the community. We are thrilled to be the agency supporting their efforts.”

BBG&G is especially suited to work with a hotel that is part of the Hilton franchise. In addition to other franchise clients, BBG&G has been working with the eleven McDonald's® restaurants located along the New York State Thruway for over five years. They are the creative force behind several programs targeting specific segments of the chain’s clientele. Currently they are running a “Be Tool Cool” frequency program targeting bus drivers and a “We Give A Hoot for Truck Drivers” campaign. Adds Bisel, “Working with a prominent franchise like McDonald’s requires highly specialized and well-considered promotions. There’s no room for error. It’s challenging, but that’s exactly what we love.”
