Sheraton

As one of the most established brands within Marriott International, Sheraton had evolved into a vast global network of properties operating with significant independence. Over time, this franchise-driven model led to fragmentation in how the brand showed up across locations, channels, and guest touchpoints. Combo partnered with Sheraton to unify the brand around a single North Star and bring it to life through a fully integrated system. From strategy through concepting and global production, we redefined how Sheraton expresses itself across properties, platforms, and moments, creating a cohesive brand experience at scale as The World's Gathering Place.

Unifying a Global Franchise

A Global Brand Without a Unified Center

Founded in 1937, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts helped define the modern hotel chain. But as the brand expanded across more than 400 properties worldwide, its franchise model created a decentralized reality. And as each property was undergoing modernizations©, the brand needs to communicate change.

©Due to Sheraton's shear scale, a global renovation effort required a decades to fully transform all of the brand's spaces.

Defining a North Star for Global Connection

Combo strategists conducted a comprehensive audit across properties, channels, and time—mapping how Sheraton showed up across guest touchpoints, from digital platforms to on-property experiences leading to a key insight: Sheraton’s greatest asset wasn’t its footprint—it was its role as a place where people come together.

Designing an Omnichannel Brand System

To bring the strategy to life, Combo designed and produced a comprehensive omnichannel ecosystem. A global brand film articulated the purpose, people, and practices behind the transformation, while a reimagined digital experience unified brand storytelling with property-level content across site and social. On property, the brand was embedded directly into the guest journey through front desk scripts, printed materials, digital screens, key cards, and integrated email and social systems. Together every element worked as a cohesive system, creating a seamless and intentional experience across channels, moments, and locations.

This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.
