MADISON, Wis. (PRWEB) October 11, 2016
Ideas That Evoke®, a Madison-based marketing agency serving clients in the beauty, lifestyle and luxury markets, was named by North Central Group (NCG) as the Agency of Record for the AC Hotel by Marriott® in downtown Madison.
As one of the fastest-growing independent creative agencies in the country, Ideas That Evoke is well-equipped to position and generate brand awareness for the AC Hotel Madison Downtown across local, regional and trade segments through creative development, social media, public relations, event marketing, influencer programs and partnerships.
“As an agency, we’re rooted in an entrepreneurial approach to business. That, combined with our track record of working with lifestyle and luxury brands, we understand NCG and Marriott’s goals for the AC Hotel Madison Downtown, and look forward to bringing that to life in our hometown,” said Kelly Ehlers, Founder and President of Ideas That Evoke.
The 10-story Marriott property, located at 1 North Webster Street on Madison’s Capitol Square, will offer guests the chance to experience the beauty of classic modern designs with its European soul and Spanish roots, born from the signature vision of renowned hotelier Antonio Catalan, who founded the brand in 1998. The property will blend Midwestern charm with breathtaking views of the city from the top floor restaurant and lounge, offering a new opportunity for guests living, working and visiting Madison.
“From our very first meeting with Ideas That Evoke, it was clear that they understood the important role the AC Hotel will play in the future of Madison,” said Katie Marron, Corporate Director of Marketing for North Central Group, the owner and operator of AC Hotel Madison Downtown. “We wanted to partner with an agency that was emotionally invested in the future of downtown Madison, yet was driven to bring a unique approach to our market. Evoke met that criteria from day one.”
