Introduction

Grand Hyatt Dubai, a five‑star luxury resort set amid 37 acres of landscaped gardens, partnered with Sojern to strengthen direct booking performance and drive seasonal event awareness in key markets. Cluster Digital Marketing Manager, Nefertiti Arsaqe, sought a solution that combined powerful traveler data with hands-on campaign optimization.

A key priority was to elevate awareness of its signature seasonal dining experiences, such as Ramadan and Oktoberfest, among high-intent travelers. The team also aimed to capture attention and drive engagement across long-haul and regional markets using visually compelling, high-impact formats tailored to each audience.
