Toth & Co worked with Brand New School on a campaign for Hyatt designed to convey the idea that Hyatt Place has designed the perfect hotel experience for each individual guest’s needs, entitled “There’s A Place For You.”
The most recently unveiled spot, “Road Warrior/Caffeine Connoisseur Jane ” follows the caffeine pumping Jane, a “sales exec, style-maven” who “flew so many miles last year, jet lag gave up trying to catch up with her.” Director Jonathan Nataro gives the spot, along with the previous “Architect/Procrastinator Joe” a theatrical feel, with moving sets and in-camera effects transforming the single take shots into overviews of guest’s experiences. The approach gives the ads a breezy, colorful style that fits with the upbeat music and lighthearted message.
“We sought to create a unique film language for the brand, and avoid a kitschy look that some theatrical and in-camera effects can inform,” explained Notaro. “The project allowed for the invention of new ways to represent ‘places,’ doing it within a design-driven world that comes natural to me given my background.”
