Wyndham Hotels Launches Humorous Holiday Campaign Encouraging Travelers to “Stay Close” with Extra Comfort

For a limited time, stay two nights and earn 7,500 Wyndham Rewards points, enough for a free night at thousands of Hotels by Wyndham

(IN SHORT) Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has launched its holiday campaign, “Stay Close,” humorously highlighting the benefits of staying at a hotel rather than enduring the challenges of family gatherings, such as uncomfortable pullout couches or overbearing relatives. Running through January 20, 2025, the campaign includes a promotion where Wyndham Rewards members can earn 7,500 bonus points—enough for a free night—after staying two nights, with the offer available twice for up to 15,000 points. The campaign is featured across digital, social media, and email platforms in the U.S. and Canada.

(PRESS RELEASE) PARSIPPANY, N.J., 2024-Dec-17 — /Travel PR News/ — Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has unveiled a playful new holiday campaign, “Stay Close,” aimed at reminding travelers to enjoy time with family while savoring the comfort of their own hotel retreat. Running across digital, social, and email platforms in the U.S. and Canada, the campaign puts a comedic twist on holiday gatherings, showcasing relatable scenarios that highlight the perks of staying at a Hotel by Wyndham.

Developed in partnership with Havas New York and produced by Annex 88, the campaign humorously portrays the quirks of family get-togethers. From avoiding “aunt-arazzi” – the selfie-obsessed aunt – to escaping Cousin Carl’s never-ending investment pitches or bypassing Grandma’s uncomfortable pullout couch, Wyndham offers an ideal solution: stay close to your loved ones but enjoy the luxury of your own space.

“The holidays are a time for connection, but let’s be honest—having a little personal space and a real bed can make all the difference,” said Marissa Yoss, VP Media and Brand Marketing at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “With over 9,100 locations worldwide, there’s likely a Hotel by Wyndham just 10 minutes away, ready to help travelers enjoy the best of both worlds.”

As part of the promotion, Wyndham Rewards members can earn 7,500 bonus points—enough for a free night at thousands of participating Hotels by Wyndham—when they stay two nights through January 20, 2025. Members can take advantage of the offer twice, earning up to 15,000 bonus points. The stays don’t need to be consecutive.

The campaign’s omnichannel rollout includes 6- and 15-second ads on digital video platforms like YouTube, along with connected TV, email, and social media, making it easy for travelers to engage with the relatable humor of holiday travel mishaps.
