Hotels.com is a website. A website people use to book hotel rooms. And our job was to advertise that website. Hotels.com is The Obvious Choice because it has the best and easiest to use awards program of any of the booking sites. We created Captain Obvious to tell you that. With his mouth.


We created these holiday films that Hotels.com pushed out on their Facebook page for each holiday during the year.


We even ran spots on gas pump screens.

We started Captain Obvious' Twitter page with 0 followers. Soon we had 1. Then 2, and so forth. Through daily obvious affirmations, photos, contests and gifs, we grew his Twitter following into the hundreds of thousands.
