Showcasing HOTEL GRAPHY Shibuya with Lively Hotels
Solution
We created a multi-platform promotional campaign for Japan Nakama, positioning HOTEL GRAPHY Shibuya as a must-stay destination for culturally curious visitors.
First-Hand Experience Capture
We stayed overnight at the hotel, documenting every aspect of the guest experience — from the design of the rooms and shared spaces to the on-site dining, breakfast service, and facilities.
Editorial Feature
The visit was transformed into an in-depth editorial for Japan Nakama, detailing the hotel’s offerings, atmosphere, and the benefits of its Shibuya location. This provided readers with both practical travel insight and a personal narrative that reflected the hotel’s identity.
Social Media Reel
A custom Instagram Reel showcased highlights from our stay, including the interior design, food presentation, and local area exploration, aimed at sparking engagement and wanderlust among our followers.
Newsletter & Banner Promotion
The campaign was supported by dedicated newsletter features to our 20,000+ subscriber base, along with banner placements on Japan Nakama to drive clicks to the editorial and the hotel’s booking page.
