Fuel Promotes Hotel Digital Marketing Innovation as Sponsor of 2020 HSMAI Marketing Strategy Conference

New York, NY – Fuel, the premier software provider and digital agency for the hotel industry, announces its participation as a Bronze sponsor in the annual Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) 2020 Marketing Strategy Conference. Taking place January 22 at the New York Marriot Marquis, HSMAI’s Marketing Strategy Conference is highly anticipated each year as the most comprehensive digital marketing event for the hotel industry. With a powerful educational program organized by HSMAI’s Digital Marketing Council, the conference provides hoteliers and their partners with practical information, insights, and strategies to drive revenue and engage guests – before, during, and after their stays. The 2020 conference will address new developments in marketers’ efforts – both online and off – to connect with, track, and influence consumers throughout all phases of their travel.

“HSMAI has been a driving force and a valuable partner in our mission to continuously evolve the digital marketing solutions that are available to hoteliers,” said Stuart Butler, CEO of Fuel. “As the recipient of seven Adrian Awards this year, we are honored to be joining as a Bronze sponsor of the 2020 Marketing Strategy Conference, in order to show our continuous support for the hospitality market and all stakeholders that stand to benefit from innovation.”

During the 2020 Hotel Marketing Strategy Conference, HSMAI will present Fuel with seven Adrian Awards at the annual gala on January 21. The Adrian Awards is a global travel marketing competition, now in its 63rd year. Out of more than 1,100 entries submitted this year, Fuel was selected as a winner in seven categories for its ongoing excellence in hospitality, travel, tourism, and media.

In a previous statement, Butler stated, “It is a privilege to be singled out from among such a prestigious group of innovators—especially since this is our first time entering the competition. Our team is dedicated to creating high-quality content for the hospitality industry and the success of our clients is our real reward, but to be recognized by the industry’s premiere sales and marketing organization is a true honor.”

Fuel earned two Gold Adrian Awards, the first for its weekly Hotel Marketing Podcast.
