A hotel brand attracting Generation C:  MOXY Hotels 


What are the features of the site that will attract Generation C guests? 
What it will firstly attract the Generation C guests while looking at the website is the picture and colours: The design of the website. Secondly they will notice that there are Instagram pictures; what they use in the daily life too. Finally they will be attracted by the simplicity of the designing of the site. Everything has been made in a quite visible and simple way.

What is the brand’s personality?
The Moxy brand appears to target the young generation and more particularly the Generation C. Indeed while exploring the website and the mobile site we feel already at home before booking for a room. The style and the colours they use let us think that it is a chic and modern hotel with convenient and comfortable services. By posting some lively contents we may think that it is a vibrant, social and living hotel. It seems to be fun and enjoyable experiencing a night there.

How does the brand satisfy the 4 characteristics of the Gen C?
Creation: The website enables the Generation C to create some contents through the posting of Instagram pictures. Generation C likes creating in order to share. It is a way to express themselves.

Curation: By using Instagram and a lively content, the website provokes an emotion to the Generation C, which is in fact the personality of the brand: By exploring the website Generation C feels it worthy to book for a night in the Moxy Brand Hotel as it seems to be a design and a vibrant hotel where we can feel at home. Generation C likes sharing worthy content which can provoke a reaction give out emotions.

Connection: The Hotel satisfies the Generation C through high-speed Wi-Fi. Guests can always be connected on their mobile for entertainment, watching videos online or simply communicating. Technology is totally integrated in the life of the hotel, a vital service for the Generation C living in the present tense.

Community: Guests from a Moxy Hotel Brand can share their pictures done in Milano on the website of the Hotel. It is a real community that is being created. Through social media, that is to say in that case, Instagram: We can view the complete guestbook. The Generation C need to share to their friends and acquaintances their passion, their daily life activity, their travelling and so on. The Moxy Hotel Brand is doing well on this point as it makes also some advertisements for the city and the hotel in the meantime.

Is the mobile site “Responsive Design” or a separate site?  

The mobile site is indeed responsive design. It detects the visitor’s screen size and orientation and change the layout accordingly.

What do you think they should do better?

On the mobile version, not everything is set up correctly in term of layout and design of the website appearing on the mobile such as the local area page.  Moreover as Generation C likes posting and sharing content, why not in this case enable them to share videos? 

Furthermore the home page of Moxy is not lively compared to the one of Andaz Hotel Hyatt for instance. Only is the guestbook lively. Finally I would add that all the information about the hotel should have been put in the same way as Virgin did: in an Instagram style.
