The challenge
A name change can erase the history that made a property matter. The new brand needed to feel fresh without becoming anonymous.

Hospitality brand story
The Tony Hotel
Turn a hotel rebrand into a story about the place people remember.
A cinematic brand film built around place, memory and the people who gave a South Beach hotel its identity.

The thinking behind the work
The work makes more sense when you know what it had to do.
The approach
We treated the hotel and its neighborhood as characters. Location, movement and personal recollection made the film feel lived-in instead of manufactured.
The result
A flexible brand story that connects the rebrand to the hotel’s history, personality and revenue goal.
