KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Select Registry has been awarded Best Hotel and Lodging Website and Best Hotel and Lodging Social Media Campaign in 2024 by the Internet Advertising Competition (IAC).

Since 1972, Select Registry has set the gold standard in craft lodging, curating a portfolio of quality-assured bed and breakfasts, inns, lodges, and boutique hotels. In 2023, the organization revealed a creative rebrand and a new website, reestablishing its unique position in the independent lodging industry—owning and coining the "third category" Craft Lodging.

The newly launched Select Registry website, and winner of IAC's Best Hotel and Lodging Website has an entirely new user experience and creative that aligns with the portfolio's updated aesthetic. SelectRegistry.com streamlines selecting a property by location or experience while providing inspirational and informative travel-related content.

After the newly revealed rebrand was launched, Select Registry boosted its digital presence with a social media campaign entitled Stay for the Story utilizing the newly updated visual identity and tagline. This award-winning campaign strategy reflected the travel company's ethos and dedication to craft lodging with general brand recognition and region-specific ad creative. These visually stunning ads increased brand awareness, boosted engagement, and improved conversion rates.
