InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) – which offers more than 650,000 rooms in around 4,500 hotels across 100 countries – is the largest hotel group in the world by number of rooms.

First, IHG created a mobile-optimised site so visitors could check availability and book rooms at nearby IHG hotels. IHG’s interactive marketing manager for EMEA, Marco De Rosa says: “The great thing about our mobile website is that it gives us more flexibility than an app. In our case, the site takes account of visitors’ locations, so we can provide them with a more personalised service with local maps and driving directions to their hotels. Furthermore, our mobile site is now available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese.” Indeed, IHG saw the website as the lynchpin in the success of its mobile strategy. De Rosa comments: “Given that it can be accessed from multiple platforms, it can reach a much larger audience. It is also accessible from any mobile browser, which means people don’t have to download anything to their devices.”

IHG created mobile-based AdWords campaigns for each hotel brand for localised sites in the UK, France, Germany and Italy. These campaigns contained unique messaging, which included phrases such as ’Holiday Inn Hotels’, ’Mobile site – book now’ and ’Call or book direct on mobile site’. De Rosa says: “It seemed clear that to maximise traffic, we needed mobile-specific ad text for the different hotels worldwide.”

  3. Explain the concept of Moment of Truth with relevance to the above case
