Choice Hotels International Inc has taken the wraps off its biggest marketing campaign to date, aptly titled “A Stay for Any You.” This extensive, multifaceted campaign, starring the talented actor and comedian Keegan-Michael Key, is set to transform the way travellers perceive and engage with the brand's diverse portfolio.

Keegan-Michael Key: The Face of Diverse Travel Needs
At the heart of this campaign is Keegan-Michael Key, whose comedic genius and versatility bring a fresh, humorous perspective to the myriad reasons people travel. Co-written by Key, his partner Elle Key, and McKinney, Choice’s creative agency, the ads resonate with a wide spectrum of travelers. They spotlight the essential universal requirement of every journey – finding the right hotel with the desired amenities, at the right price, in a convenient location.

A Multichannel Promotional Effort
Running through the end of 2024, the campaign utilizes national terrestrial and streaming TV advertising, complemented by a strategic social media presence. The promotional effort aims to highlight Choice Hotels' expansive portfolio, encompassing 22 distinct brands to cater to the various needs of modern travelers.

Timed with Key System Integration
This latest marketing endeavor marks the first major campaign since the integration of the Radisson Hotels Americas brands into Choice Hotels’ reservation system. Significantly, this integration also involves the transition of Radisson Rewards Americas members to the Choice Privileges rewards program.

Target Audience and Campaign Execution
Targeting value-conscious families, young professionals, and business travelers, the campaign uses humor to depict various travel scenarios. The media buy, executed by Havas, ensures the campaign's reach across broadcast, cable, streaming TV, SiriusXM, Spotify, and multiple social and digital platforms.

Spotlight on Four Choice Hotel Brands
The campaign uniquely features four of Choice Hotels' brands—Radisson, Cambria Hotels, Comfort, and Quality Inn. Radisson and Cambria, both upscale brands, receive special emphasis. Radisson caters to business travelers with a full-service experience and bright, functional spaces, while Cambria Hotels offers modern travelers upscale amenities and locally inspired menus. Comfort hotels, following a massive $2.5 billion transformation, promise a consistent, warm, and welcoming stay, complete with a free hot breakfast. Quality Inn focuses on comfortable, affordable accommodations for guests looking to create lasting memories.

“A Stay for Any You” is more than just a marketing campaign; it's a creative, engaging way to showcase the breadth and diversity of Choice Hotels' offerings. By leveraging the charm and humor of Keegan-Michael Key, Choice Hotels is set to redefine the travel experience, emphasizing that no matter the journey or the traveler, there’s a perfect stay waiting for them.
