BRIEF
ZONT Hotel Group was founded in 2011 by hoteliers Alexander Gendelsman and Nikolai Filatov, who offered the market a completely new management format at that time – "rent" with a guarantee of the owner's income.
Despite the dynamic growth of the company's portfolio, the «rental» management format and the ZONT Hotel Group brand remained invisible in the information field, unlike the competitive group, which hindered the company's development.
In the summer of 2023, the management of the ZONT Hotel Group sought advice from the SEA Company, which by that time had already provided continuous PR support for one of the facilities managed by the company since its opening - the Grand Chalet Altay.

SOLUTION
Based on the results of the consultations and based on the strategic objectives of the ZONT Hotel Group, it was decided to start cooperation within the framework of the "B2B PR Representative" package, including the development of a PR strategy and an activity plan.
REALISATION
At the first stage of cooperation, a PR strategy was formed, PR positioning and tone of voice were defined, and a detailed plan of PR and marketing activities was drawn up.
At the second stage, a complete PR packaging of the brand was carried out - image releases about the company and the rental management model, press portraits of speakers and other materials necessary for the implementation of the strategy were written.
As part of the third stage, a communication strategy is being implemented, including ensuring the regular presence of the brand in the media and at key events in order to increase brand awareness not only among the target audience – investors and developers.
