Aramark Destinations
ELEVATING ARAMARK DESTINATIONS THROUGH CREATIVE PUBLIC RELATIONS
Challenge

- Limited media coverage for its properties.
- Lack of differentiation from competitors in the hospitality sector.
- Limited public understanding of the breadth of experiences offered at each property.

- Story-driven campaigns tying properties to trending narratives and seasonal travel moments.
- Media partnerships and press trips with influencers and journalists to highlight unique lodging and dining offerings.
- Positioning executives as thought leaders through opinion pieces, panels, and conference participation.
- Research-driven messaging to connect with niche audiences and align with Aramark’s brand pillars.




Results
- National and regional media coverage, including NBC Los Angeles, Good Day Colorado, and Locale Magazine.
- Representation of Aramark Destinations at relevant conferences, summits and events, including TravMedia’s International Media Marketplace (IMM), resulting in 20+ journalist leads for stories and FAM visits.
- Stronger brand recognition as a premier hospitality provider across national parks and landmarks.
- Storytelling that elevated awareness of Aramark’s diverse properties and hospitality experiences.
