JW Marriott

Australia 31% ADR increase. 47% direct booking rate, the highest in the Marriott APAC portfolio. All earned.
We launched a global luxury brand into a market that didn’t know it yet. Over two years, we built the positioning that made it feel inevitable.

JW Marriott was entering Australia for the first time. The opportunity was significant, and so was the challenge. A globally respected brand with no local footprint, in a Gold Coast market that already had established luxury options and an audience that needed a genuine reason to choose something new.

We built the brand positioning and narrative from the ground up: strategic brand consulting, communications strategy, and a launch programme designed to introduce JW Marriott Gold Coast as a property defined by refined discovery, connecting the brand’s global heritage with a distinctly Queensland point of view. Earned PR, curated events, influencer strategy, social direction, and on-ground activations, all held to the same positioning thread across two years.

31% ADR increase. 47% direct booking rate. A hotel that launched with genuine market standing, earned, not bought, and a presence in Australia that felt considered and deliberate from day one.
