New York-based creative content agency Plus recently collaborated with the brand design team at Starwood Hotel & Resorts to create a series of funny and irreverent films highlighting the hospitality brand’s revolutionary new “Keyless Key” smartphone check-in capabilities now available at three of its global brands: W, Aloft, and Element. Starwood is the first in the hospitality to introduce a truly keyless and mobile check-in technology.
“Keyless Key” includes a new door lock system that uses Bluetooth technology to connect to an iPhone or Android app and enable guests to check-in and open their room doors using their smartphone instead of a keycard. The feature is supported within the Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) App.

The campaign's reverse psychology approach lets ABC own the conversation while showcasing its impressive selection in an entertaining way."
The campaign arrives as ABC Fine Wine and Spirits aims to maintain brand engagement during a traditionally quiet period for alcohol sales.
