Go Undercover With Best Western and Disney Channel This Summer As Part Of Mission: Vacation
Phoenix, Ariz (PRWEB) June 01, 2016 -- Best Western® Hotels and Resorts teamed up with Disney Channel once again this summer to deliver an outstanding online and in-hotel experience. Now through September 4, guests can visit BWSpyMission.com from their smartphone or desktop and engage with a 360 interactive undercover Mission: Vacation video with Zendaya, star of Disney Channel’s “K.C. Undercover.”
The 360-spy mission video allows guests to experience today’s Best Western while earning their own shareable spy badge. The playful video, which includes an all-youth cast, is one of Best Western’s first efforts to showcase its new brand identity to consumers. Guests who enter the lobby of any of Best Western’s 2,200 branded hotels in North America will see a standee* with details about the video, sweepstakes and a visual of Best Western’s soon to be revealed summer television campaign.
“In the year of our great brand refresh, there’s no more powerful partner to help us share our new brand story than Disney Channel,” said Dorothy Dowling, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Best Western Hotels & Resorts. “This interactive experience, and sweepstakes, is a fun way for us to reveal Best Western’s new identity to consumers and highlight our long-standing partnership with Disney Channel.”
Along with the interactive spy-training mission, there will be one lucky winner of the “K.C. Undercover Mission: Vacation Sweepstakes.” The grand prize of the sweepstakes is a spy-themed scavenger hunt in Los Angeles, California, and an opportunity to meet with the show’s star, Zendaya.
Now through September 4, U.S. residents can enter the sweepstakes by texting the keyword “MISSION” to SMS short code 347639 (DISNEY) or by visiting DisneyChannel.com/Mission and following the “How to Enter” instructions. The U.S. sweepstakes was replicated in Canada as a standalone contest, which Canadian residents can enter by texting the keyword “MISSION” to SMS short code 288288 or by visiting DisneyChannel.ca and completing an online registration form.
“Disney Channel’s ‘K.C. Undercover’ is a huge hit with our guests, and partnering to create this sweepstakes will bring fun to our families as they travel this summer,” said Dorothy Dowling, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Best Western Hotels & Resorts. “Best Western wants our guests to enjoy their summer travel and we hope they have fun going undercover with Best Western and Disney Channel.”
*The standees in the U.S. were created in both English and Spanish, and the Canadian versions include both English and French
