The Marriott Moments Campaign

The campaign seamlessly integrates three key components: Online, On Ground, and On Stage, each contributing to the creation of unforgettable moments that transcend time. In an effort to foster knowledge sharing across various disciplines, the campaign organized a capacity building seminar at COLLAB, Sheraton Manila Hotel in February. Moreover, the recently concluded Marriott Moments Culinary Arts Conference brought together 20 chefs from 9 Marriott properties in the Philippines, marking the largest gathering of culinary arts experts in the country’s Marriott history.

Online engagement remains a crucial aspect of the campaign, with the continuation of the #MYMarriottMoments series on the hotel’s official YouTube channel, known as My Favorite Travel Channel (MyFTC). This ongoing series features real people sharing their cherished experiences held at Marriott Hotel Manila, further amplifying the campaign’s online presence.

The On Ground component showcases the highly anticipated “Marriott Moments A-Fair,” a platform that highlights top-notch wedding and event suppliers.

On the grand stage, the 9th edition of “Marry Me at Marriott” takes center stage, featuring six celebrated designers. This includes the much-anticipated homecoming of Ezra Santos, a Filipino designer based in the United Arab Emirates and a prominent fashion figure in the Middle East, reuniting with Val Taguba as close friends. The event also showcases the contrasting coexistence of Rhett Eala and Jaggy Glarino, blending classic and contemporary experiences, as well as the harmonious collaboration between Albert Andrada and Jezelle Amorado, where mentorship and gratitude come to fruition.
