The Garden City Hotel | Why We Care
Hospitality & Recruitment
In Long Island, NY is the prestigious and luxurious Garden City Hotel that offers incredible amenities and above all unparalleled customer service. They needed to connect better with their customers through their website and social media. I set out to find the solution first by interviewing the owner of the hotel, their head of marketing and experiencing a stay there for myself. Instantly it was apparent what I needed to focus on: the astronomical level of Customer Service and care that is embodied by each employee.
It's a personality trait within all of the employees that is learned not enforced. My goal was to capture the real stories and personal values of the employees in a relatable and simple way to better inform future guests why they should stay there.

Downtown 7th Street
Downtown Location Showcase
The Garden City Hotel needed to showcase their extraordinary and convenient downtown area called 7th Street while showing their close proximity to New York City. My idea was to tell the story of a day in the life of a young couple exploring 7th Street and then taking the train into Times Square making it back to the hotel in time for happy hour. I wanted to go for really interesting visuals so I decided on a first person perspective incorporated with teleportation via drone shots.
I utilized a mouth-mounted GoPro and a DJI Mavic to shoot the majority of the commercial. The drone shots were used, in addition to 3D visual tracking and animation, to visually illustrate the close proximity of the hotel to the featured locations.

They're service department was receiving many calls at the time asking how to change it and it was cutting into valuable work time for their employees.
