Since its launch in 2017, World of Hyatt has grown into a global loyalty program reflecting Hyatt’s expansion into luxury, lifestyle, and wellbeing. To keep up with this evolution, Hyatt needed a refreshed digital design system, one that felt more inviting, inspiring, and cohesive across all digital and physical touch points.

The Challenge
How might we encourage members to join, save, and earn more, while also engaging with promotions that build long-term loyalty?





TRAVEL HAS BECOME MORE ABOUT GOING SOMEWHERE, THAN TRULY BEING THERE.






The Solution

Introducing a new global brand platform–Be More Here–that invites guests to not just visit, but to fully immerse themselves and be in the moment.


The strategy is rooted in a consumer truth: that in a world of distractions, Hyatt offers a rare chance to unplug, savor the moment, and feel truly present–especially when set against the backdrop of breathtakingly beautiful Hyatt properties across the globe.

01Cohesion with web, CRM, app and social.
02Transparency of loyalty offers and benefits.
03 Focus on guest experiences and connections





The Results

9% YOY growth in the hotel and resort portfolio, resulting in 130K+ rooms added worldwide


21% membership increase to a total of 48M members


14% YOY revenue growth to $6.99B






My Role

I built the loyalty program's digital design system from the ground up, based on the new branding.

I also designed customizable templates for CRM assets like emails and push notifications, which made quick turnarounds on deliverables much easier. Additionally, I updated the site and app to reflect campaign messaging.















The H-FrameThe team evolved the graphic blue square logo by mirroring it with the new Be More Here tagline to create a subtle, hidden “H”, resembling a window into the World of Hyatt. This H-frame is displayed on all media types––instagram posts, email headers, website heroes, billboards, on-property marketing materials, etc.
