SETTING A NEW STANDARD IN HOSPITALITY BRAND ACTIVATION

I spent a year researching how to turn brand strategy into consistent hotel execution.

My name is Patrick Heesen and after 20 years leading global hotel brands, I knew there had to be a better way. So I turned that question into one year of academic research at Nyenrode Business Universiteit. I interviewed 35 senior hospitality leaders. The result: a practical, step-by-step framework that makes brand activation easier to understand and execute. It will guide you:

  • Stand out with research-backed expertise

  • Advance your career with a unique strategic skillset

  • Activate better with a academic proven 37-step process

  • Drive results across brand, people and guest experience
