A multi-year marketing partnership will give members of the Marriott Bonvoy travel programme a chance to have a once-in-a-lifetime football experience with Manchester United F.C.
Marriott International, the world’s largest hotel company, and Manchester United, one of the most popular football clubs in the world, have announced a new multi-year, global marketing partnership.
The deal will see the two entities teaming up on a new programme that will give members of Marriott’s vaunted Marriott Bonvoy programme a chance to have what are being billed as once-in-a-lifetime football experiences with Manchester United.
Those experiences include—but are not limited to—the chance to be the club’s stadium announcer or kit manager, if only for a day.
The new partnership has now officially launched via a film featuring the faces of the team and management, and the involved stakeholders are excited to talk about it.
Manchester United’s group managing director, Richard Arnold, had this to say, “Marriott International is the leader in its field and we’re excited to be partnering with them as Marriott launches its new travel programme, Marriott Bonvoy. Together we look forward to creating some unforgettable moments for Marriott Bonvoy members, inspired by the thrill and excitement that only Manchester United can create for fans around the world.”
Marriott International global marketing officer Karin Timpone added, “We are thrilled to offer compelling benefits to Marriott Bonvoy members, now expanded to include unique Manchester United experiences. This marketing partnership enables our members to access special VIP game experiences by using the points they’ve accumulated during hotel stays for unprecedented, exclusive experiences.”
