Goshen, N.Y. (April 29, 2011) – The four-star Crowne Plaza Hotel and Conference Center in Suffern has named Focus Media, Inc., as its advertising, marketing and public relations agency.
The hotel and conference center is formerly a Holiday Inn, but is undergoing a complete transformation. The hotel re-opened in early April and a major grand opening event will be announced soon.
Focus Media is coordinating all aspects of the grand opening and handling all direct mail, public relations, advertising and event marketing for the hotel and conference center.
“Focus Media’s full-service background will be invaluable in announcing Crowne Plaza Suffern to the community and doing long-term marketing efforts to build our client base,” said Joshua Goldstein of Empire Executive Inn LLC, the owners of the hotel and conference center. “Crowne Plaza will address the many needs of Rockland County businesses and families that previously have had to host events outside the county.”
“There is a huge need for a large hotel and conference center like Crowne Plaza,” said Josh Sommers, president and CEO of Focus Media. “We are very proud to form what will be a successful partnership between Crowne Plaza Suffern and Focus Media.”
