[Case Study]
With its modern avant-garde design, buzzworthy dining spots, and trendsetting club scene, SO/ Bangkok has quickly emerged as one of the Thai capital’s hottest see-and-be-seen hotels since opening in 2022.
To drive awareness and bookings from this valued segment, SO/ Bangkok launched an innovative influencer marketing campaign showcasing the hotel’s eclectic vibe, exceptional amenities, and premier location in downtown Sukhumvit. By tapping into the powerful pull of popular Chinese fashion, travel, and lifestyle influencers, the hotel immersed these digital tastemakers in the full SO/ experience – from the striking metallic “Wander Wall” lobby to the vibrant H8 Brasserie and raucous HI-SO rooftop club. Their striking, envy-inducing content set the stage for SO/ Bangkok to become the ultimate aspirational destination for young, luxury-minded Chinese travellers

Beyond the hotel, influencers explored nearby attractions like luxe malls and rooftop bars in Sukhumvit’s prime shopping/nightlife district.
The Content Execution
The influencers captured their uniquely SO/ stays through a mix of photos and video reels on xiaohongshu
• Room tours of the ultramodern, vibrant suites and decor.
•’ Get Ready With Me’ glamour videos from their suites.
Outcome
