The key challenge was to develop a strong, relevant and differentiating value proposition for TRYP while leveraging any core attributes existing in the brand and develop a strong positioning statement along with a branding campaign to bring these attributes to life. A second key challenge was to determine the best approach to re-naming and re-branding the chain, from TRYP Hotels to TRYP by Wyndham. The new brand campaign was developed in four languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese and German and was based on the theme “Own the City” which supported the concept of a city-centric hotel chain with locations in some of the world’s most happening cities and with a staff of experts ready to empower you to own the city with TRYP.

In 2010 the brand joined the Wyndham Hotel Group.The agency was tapped to help re-invent the brand from a virtually unknown brand into a vibrant, fast-growing city centric brand, and to help craft a value proposition to grow bookings as well as new hotels.
