'1' Hotel, Mammoth Lakes, Calif. / Best On the Boards Ad Campaign
Builder: Playground/Starwood Capital Group, San Francisco
Ad agency: Greenhaus, San Diego (at the time)
On the Board categories are a new addition to the Nationals this year, providing opportunities for proposed by not completed work to get its due and a positive push toward completion.
"1" Hotel is the first fractional LEED-certified condo/hotel product. It brings together "green sustainable condo hotel practices with luxury amenities," says Tucker Stine, account supervisor at Greenhaus, which came up with the ad concept.
Mammoth has always been a nice place to ski but never had the five-star resort quality of Aspen or a Telluride. The goal was to attract people who have been coming to Mammoth, particularly Gen Xers now affluent enough to experience Mammoth at a completely different level.
The ads have sparse copy and stunning visuals. "It's the great outdoors coupled with the new luxury amenity that we're bringing," says Stein. "Plus 1 is the luxury amenities. And the name of the hotel is "1."
