The Ask

Position Signia by Hilton Indianapolis as a credible, premier destination for meetings and events before its 2026 opening.

With no operating history yet, the property needed to build confidence among its most important early audiences:

  • meeting and event planners
  • convention decision-makers
  • corporate travel buyers
  • discerning business travelers

The goal was not just awareness, but trust — ensuring stakeholders understood the property’s experiences, scale, sophistication, and strategic role in Indianapolis’s convention ecosystem.

The Strategy

Lucie Content implemented a production-led visibility strategy designed to establish authority early and sustain it long-term.

Our team traveled onsite to capture cinematic visuals, executive interviews, and stakeholder perspectives that communicated the property’s design, intent, and market significance. These assets became the foundation of a structured content system engineered for credibility, discoverability, and professional relevance.

We simultaneously launched and managed LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook channels, aligning each platform to a defined audience role:

  • LinkedIn: industry credibility and planner-facing authority
  • YouTube: milestone storytelling and long-form discovery
  • Instagram: visual introduction for travelers and planners
  • Facebook: early-stage awareness and familiarity

Every asset was designed to function as a long-term authority signal across search, social, and AI-driven discovery environments.

The Impact

Within the first monthly reporting period:

  • 17% engagement rate growth within the first 30 days, establishing early planner-facing credibility.
  • 60% month-over-month increase in YouTube viewership, reinforcing sustained pre-opening interest.
  • Nearly 40% of Instagram discovery driven by non-followers, expanding reach beyond existing audiences.
  • Consistent cross-platform growth during the first reporting period, signaling measurable digital authority before launch.

Before opening day, Signia by Hilton Indianapolis is already establishing digital authority among planners, partners, and future guests — positioning the property as a premier meetings and business-travel destination in the Midwest.
