THE PAVILIONS

The Brief

Reposition an Asian boutique resort brand, currently with two properties, for expansion and give it a competitive edge against growing competition
 

The Strategy

  • Conduct a brand audit and create a new compelling positioning
  • Develop brand guidelines and bring the brand positioning statement to life through various touchpoints
  • Ensure brand essence is reinforced through every point of interaction with clients – from website design and airport pickup, to design and service philosophy
  • Create a unique ‘Spa Pleasures’ experience. To underscore the brand’s positioning as a romance destination, we designed a unique ‘Spa Pleasures’ menu
  • Introduce a ‘Passions’ program, starting with ‘Passion for Perfume’, experiential workshop introducing guests to the sensual pleasures of scent
 

The Results

  • The Pavilions included in Wall Street Journal’s list of ‘Asia’s Top Spas’
  • Six months after the rebranding exercise, The Pavilions had generated an advertising equivalent of USD 166,000 in coverage
  • The Pavilions named a finalist in the 2010 Hospitality Awards (Best Clients’ Experience Program)
  • Customer feedback improved and TripAdvisor ratings increased by almost 3%
