The property features twelve rooms and suites, a perfect fit for guests seeking a memorable, romantic, and historic ambiance grounded in impeccable “invisible” service, the perks of a five-star hotel, and the bonus of absolute privacy.

    The Ask

    Guild House Hotel partnered with Pixel & Polish to produce a library of video assets and website hero video + develop and execute a paid media strategy to drive direct bookings and grow overall revenues. Previous marketing efforts lacked a clear connection between investment and results — so trackable performance and actionable insights were of utmost importance.

    The Approach

    We carefully devised a plan to capture  implemented tracking and analytics, produced real-time reporting dashboards, and developed and executed a multi-channel paid media campaign strategy — spanning search, display, video, and Performance Max — with creative and copy tuned to the property’s quiet, editorial sensibility.

    Positioning

    Guild House honors the legacy of social progress, community, and equality that the New Century Guild embodied for more than a century — partnering with minority-owned businesses in Philly and beyond, and connecting guests with luxury products from a diverse roster of entrepreneurs. Our messaging leans into that heritage while foregrounding the property’s design and calm.
