Radisson RED, the bold and unconventional brand from Radisson Hotel Group, partnered with NM+U to develop a hotel launch strategy that could be replicated across multiple cities while staying true to RED’s rebellious spirit. As the brand expanded into new markets, the challenge was to craft a campaign that captured the essence of each location while reinforcing Radisson RED’s distinct identity.
Challenge
With rapid brand expansion, Radisson RED was set to launch in three very different cities—Miami, Portland, and Lima. The key challenge was ensuring that the hotel marketing campaign reflected each city’s unique culture while making it clear that RED belonged there. The campaign relied heavily on outdoor advertising, requiring visually impactful and locally relevant creative that resonated with modern travelers and urban explorers.
Solution
NM+U created a scalable hotel launch strategy, combining original photography, custom iconography, and bold copywriting tailored to each city. The creative approach fused local culture with Radisson RED’s signature personality, ensuring every launch felt authentic yet unmistakably RED. The outdoor advertising strategy maximized visibility while maintaining a clean, cohesive design bursting with energy. The result? A dynamic, adaptable campaign that successfully introduced Radisson RED to new markets while reinforcing its edgy, artistic brand identity.
