Each presenter and their story was selected specifically to resonate with the three target audiences - sports enthusiast, frequent travellers and Millennials.Whilst showcasing the functionality of the travel involved in the presenters’ roles, the pieces also provided the audience a glimpse of the personalities behind the presenters, their passions and lifestyles.The content catalogue comprised of short-form vignettes, cut downs, animated pieces, stills and gifs, distributed via FOX Network Groups (FNG) assets spanning;Premium TV placement on FOX Sports, Nat Geo, StarWorld and FOX channels – reaching over 47 million households across 22 countries.com, natgeo.com and FOX Sports social media channels with over 1.7 million followers.AccorHotels sponsorships of the Australian Open and French Open Grand Slam Tennis events provides an exceptional platform to communicate their USPs.

A significant impact followed the Serena Williams partnership with creative assets featuring the tennis star. A record CTR was directly linked to the Serena digital banners and through the exclusive TV content created for Serena Williams with FOX Sports. The synergies were evident in the sentiment of the consumer survey results.From an accorhotels.com website visitation and booking analysis, while half year results are pending, the correlation to visitations directly aligned to key TV promotional spots, especially over the Australian Open.  Visitation spikes were evident during the major airing of AccorHotels' content, and AccorHotels and accorHotels.com took a front of mind approach with exclusive content supporting traditional TV spots, as well as through commentator verbal reference.https://vimeo.com/235277509
