The hotel is located in the intersection of very busy roads that connect central Mexico to the SE region. The hotel's location allows travelers to have a nice place to rest after a long drive and avoid entering the city. It's proximity to Cofre de Perote National Park, makes a very good option for excursionists that appreciate affordable luxury and conforts.
Challenge:
Our client, a seasoned business person, was building a new hotel in the Mexican SE region. He needed clarity to commission key parts of the business such as operational manuals and interior design. Our team conducted a brand workshop to define the target customer, selling points, and brand attributes. He knew that having a clear idea of the brand and core business aspects would help him save time and money in the long run. Furthermore, he needed a solid physical proof to start envisioning the concept that he had developed over years about this hotel.
Work:
To address our client's concerns, we began by conducting a comprehensive brand workshop to define their target customer, positioning, selling points, and brand attributes. We also conducted an in-depth analysis of competitors and customer needs to help them stand out in the market. We created a logo and a basic identity manual that captured the essence of the brand. We also developed mood boards to serve as guiding lines for the interior designers and created creative briefs for them to ensure that their work aligned with the brand's vision.
The hotel will open by the end of 2023, and we're excited to continue supporting our client's vision.
Strategy
Through two 4-hour sessions with the partners, we carefully uncovered all the essential elements necessary for crafting the Villas Del Cofre brand.
By conducting a thorough analysis of customer profiles, needs, and desires, as well as taking a closer look at the competition in the area, we were able to identify key opportunities for differentiation.
We then prioritized the needs and goals of the business and its customers, establishing a solid foundation for the branding process. This solid foundation provided the client with the confidence to start creating operations manuals and to craft a creative brief for the interior designers.
MISION:
Provide our guests happy rest in a safe and comfortable environment.
VISION:
The communication style should reflect the personality of the brand with a familiar, friendly tone. Highlight professionalism and focus on providing guests with a happy rest.
