Conquering festive fizzle-out head-on, the
Holiday Hype Machine lets co-workers, friends and loved ones send
personalized videos to anyone in need of a boost to tackle
end-of-year work obligations
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Last-minute deadlines,
performance reviews, unexpected travel—crossing that end-of-year
finish line can be tough for any business traveler. Enter La
Quinta® by Wyndham—the award-winning hotel brand known for helping
business travelers be at their best—and its new Holiday Hype
Machine, a personalized video-sharing experience where users
can create and share custom hype-up messages with co-workers,
friends, and family in need of an extra boost to conquer their
holiday doldrums.
Bringing the Holiday Hype Machine to life, La Quinta enlisted
the expertise of New York Giants wide-receiver, Sterling Shepard. No stranger to stirring up
enthusiasm on the field, Shepard is one of football's most
energetic players, known for being the ultimate hype man for his
teammates. This season, he's officially adding a La Quinta uniform
to his collection as Holiday Hype Man, firing up business travelers
as he helps them tackle the obstacles keeping them from finishing
the year on a high note. And it couldn't be more needed,
research shows that nearly one-half of the workforce hits
"festive fizzle out" by December
18.
"Every great team needs a hype man, whether that's on a football
field or in an office, success relies on teammates keeping you
motivated through those challenging moments," said Shepard. "I have
always loved the holiday season, but as someone who spends much of
my time on the road this time of year, I know first-hand how
chaotic it can feel to balance it all. As La Quinta's Holiday Hype
Man, I'm ready to put on my hype man suit and help people crush
those end of year to-dos!"
With a few simple clicks and a sprinkle of holiday magic, hype
enthusiasts can activate the Holiday Hype Machine to send
personalized, hype video messages from Shepard sure to get their
loved ones jingling all the way through the holiday - and end of
fiscal - hustle and bustle. Simply answer a few questions about the
recipient—What kind of traveler are they? What do they need hyped
up about? And voila, the Holiday Hype Machine generates a custom
hype video from Sterling that can be shared via email or text.
Recipients can also share on their favorite social media platform
or click to create a hype video of their own.
"We know our guests are champions at juggling it all while on
the road — but it's no surprise that there's always extra pressure
around the holidays to get things done," said Krishna Paliwal, president, La Quinta by
Wyndham. "That's where La Quinta comes in. Our job is to be the
bright spot in your journey, taking care of the little
things—reliable Wi-Fi, a comfy bed, a filling breakfast, a great
fitness center and now, spreading some extra hype —so that you can
focus on the big things and get the job done right."
Now through December 31, 2023,
those seeking to spread extra holiday cheer can access the Holiday
Hype Machine and share a custom video with friends and co-workers,
for free. Learn more and send a video by visiting lq.com/hype.
