Description
The Student Hotel has made a major rebrand to The Social Hub, with a new website and identity now live at www.thesocialhub.co. The Student Hotel has rebranded as The Social Hub to better reflect its guest profile and mission, with ambitions to double the number of properties within seven years. The rebrand and repositioning has been brought to life by HALAL Studios, who are the architects behind the ‘Open Doors' concept - a lively and colourful 360° introduction campaign called ‘Whatever Your Journey, it Starts Here’.
The ‘Open Doors’ creative aims to give people a sneak-peek into the different rooms at The Social Hub, sparking imagination and inspiring people to start a new journey. The campaign features striking photography by HALAL’s Eliza Jo Tratlehner and a bright cinematic video by Berlin based directors A Nice Idea Studio.
The campaign video of ‘Whatever Your Journey, it Starts Here’ depicts the journeys the brand’s community go on and how these come together through experiences at The Social Hub – from a personal growth journey of a student, to a business growth journey of a entrepreneur building an impactful business, to travellers meeting new people. The video shows connections being made and is an invitation to join The Social Hub’s community
