In just the first 10 months, the campaign drove 179 extra bookings with a 16:1 Return on Investment and delivered $204,680 in incremental revenue.

The second award was for “Best Hotel & Lodging Social Media Campaign,” for TravelClick’s work with Hotel BLOOM! This holiday-season campaign aimed to increase user engagement on the hotel’s Facebook page, as well as to provide a fun gaming experience targeting users between 25- to 45-years-old. During the week of the contest, the property’s Facebook page showed an 86 percent increase in total reach compared to the previous week; subsequently, the number of people talking about the page increased by 33 percent for the same time period.
