Pan Pacific Hotels Group has unveiled a new advertising campaign for its Australian portfolio, comprising hotels under the Pan Pacific and PARKROYAL brands.
This is the first time the Group has launched a national advertising campaign around its Australian portfolio since it entered the country in 2010 with the launch of PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney and PARKROYAL Parramatta. The Group then introduced its Pan Pacific brand with Pan Pacific Perth the following year. In April 2011, Pan Pacific Hotels Group expanded its portfolio and commitment to this key growth market with the acquisition of the Melbourne Airport Hotel which it rebranded PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport.
Over the next four months, consumers will be able to see new advertising for all four Australian hotels on print, online and inflight channels. Through these platforms, the creatives will be viewed by more than 7.5 million consumers. The advertising creatives follow from the refreshed propositions and new visual and verbal identities for the Pan Pacific and PARKROYAL brands that were introduced in September last year.

"Pan Pacific guests will come away from their stays feeling refreshed, enriched and inspired; PARKROYAL guests will have, in our PARKROYAL people, the best knowledge and insider tips, enabling them to comfortably explore and enjoy the city."
