About

World's largest hotel company by number of properties and brands; operates a growing retail media network leveraging its Bonvoy loyalty data

From a marketing and advertising perspective, Marriott is a significant player in its own right. Its Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program has over 196 million members, making it one of the largest first-party data assets in the travel industry. Marriott leverages this data through Marriott Media Network (MMN), a retail media network that allows advertisers — particularly travel, financial services, and consumer brands — to reach high-intent travelers across Marriott's owned digital properties, including its app and website. This positions Marriott as both a major advertiser itself and a media owner selling targeted advertising inventory to third-party brands.
