second-ever pet ambassador and receive $10,000
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Aug. 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling all travel-loving,
camera-ready pups looking for their time to shine! In celebration
of National Dog Day on August 26,
Baymont® by Wyndham, the midscale hotel brand known for
its "hometown hospitality" with more than 500 locations across
North America, is launching a
nationwide search to find its second-ever "Baymont Buddy of the
Year."
One well-trained, photogenic pup will be named the brand's
official pet ambassador, landing a starring role in Baymont's
upcoming digital marketing campaign. In return, the lucky pup's
parents will receive tail-wagging perks including $5,000, a two-night hotel stay for the campaign
photo shoot, $5,000 travel stipend
and upgrade to Wyndham Rewards® Diamond status.
Following Baymont's first Buddy of the Year, Frankie, a
micro-mini goldendoodle from Northern
Virginia, the search for the brands next pup-bassador comes
as more and more travelers bring their pets with them on the road
and 97% of U.S. pet owners consider their pets part of the
family.
"For many of our guests, family vacations just wouldn't be
complete without their four-legged family members, which is why
we're recognizing one special dog who exemplifies what it means to
be the ultimate travel companion," said Greg Giordano, brand leader and vice president
of Operations, Baymont by Wyndham. "With hundreds of pet-friendly
hotels, Baymont's signature hometown hospitality embraces the joy
and companionship of travel, especially with our furry
friends."
Owners and their dogs are required to attend a one-day
photoshoot in Albuquerque, NM, or
another location to be determined by Baymont. In addition to
$5,000, the owner will receive a
$5,000 travel stipend and two-paid

mutually agreed upon date between November
2023 and February 2024.
