Grand Opening Campaign –
$6k Ad Spend → $62k in Bookings

For Park Hyatt Chicago’s grand opening, I developed and executed a targeted social media ad campaign designed to fill rooms and create buzz.

The result: $62,000 in direct room bookings—a tenfold return on investment—plus a surge in brand awareness and engagement during a critical launch window.
