In the latest Suite Spot: Spotlight series episode, we travel to Atlanta, Georgia, to showcase the one-of-a-kind, AAA Four Diamond Hilton hotel - The Signia by Hilton Atlanta! Director of Sales at the property, Julia Austin, sits down with the Suite Spot to give travelers a keen look at why this newly built hotel not only broke new ground, but is also breaking records and setting the bar for guest experiences, being hospitality forward, and incorporating excellence in every square foot of the property.  Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree, and we are here on our Suite Spot Spotlight series at the beautiful Signia by Hilton Atlanta. I'm so excited to be here. We just got a tour of this incredible property. I'm here with the Director of Sales, Julia Austin. Thank you so much for having us here and hosting us at the Signia by Hilton Atlanta. Julia Austin : Absolutely. Thank you so much for being here. Ryan Embree: So before we get into this amazing property, and there's so much to cover, by the way, it is a history lesson just walking in, I love the term that was used during the tour of this is a love letter to the city. We're gonna talk all about this amazing property, but in hospitality, we know it's a big small world, right? We typically work for sometimes different brands. Sometimes we work for the same brand. I love hearing hospitality leaders and their journeys through their experience, and what led them to a new property like this. Julia Austin : Yeah, absolutely. So it is, it is such a small world and hospitality and, you know, I kind of came into the world by a dear friend of mine from college. I graduated and was trying to figure out what exactly to do next, and she introduced me to the world of hotels and I fell in love. And 15 years later, here I am miles away from home. I'm born and raised in Arizona, living in Atlanta, Georgia, and getting to be a part of this amazing signature hotel within the Hilton brand. It's been a wild journey, but I can now, looking back, can't imagine the last 15 years doing anything else other than working in such an amazing industry that the hospitality industry really is. Ryan Embree: Yeah. So many pieces of your stories echoed with industry leaders. I talked to first, sometimes a lot of hospitality industry people don't know what they're gonna do right outta college, fall into it, but fall in love to it and also heard that wild journey, to get you here at this incredible Signia by Hilton Atlanta. Let's talk about this for those, audience members that might not be familiar with Signia, because this is the first new build Signia, and for this brand. Talk to us a little bit about the characteristics, that make up what a Signia by Hilton is. Julia Austin : Yeah. You know, so when Hilton was really looking on how to expand the company and what we were going to do next, we really kind of reached out to the people, you know, what are you looking for when you travel? What are you looking for when you're planning meetings and events, when you're hosting galas or social events? And the resounding, you know, feedback that we as a company received was, we want something that is elevated, yet still approachable. So, you know, we wanna have these beautiful views, floor to ceiling, glass windows, you know, state-of-the-art meeting space and high level guest rooms. But we still wanna be able to feel like when we come to this hotel, even with just under a thousand rooms that we're family and that, you know, we belong here and, and we are really embracing ourselves not only in the brand and the hotel, but the community and the city that we're in at the time as well. So, and that's really kind of how Signia became to be. Ryan Embree: I mean, it again,

I've been listening to your podcast for a while now and wondering about whether it's really worth using Facebook at all for marketing. I have a page that is only 6 months old with 50 fans. It seems like nobody sees my posts anyway and I've heard you both say that it's harder than ever to get your fans to see your posts. I'm thinking of ditching my page and putting my efforts elsewhere. What do you think?” 2. Julia – Austin, Texas “I have a wellness business where I practice acupuncture. My specialty is working with women's health issues (PMS, menopause, infertility, etc). I want to create a product to sell online. Can you tell me if it's better to create an ebook or offer a course? Does one get more sales than the other?” 3. Sally-Ann Connecticut, MA “I am creating a video course on relaxation and stress-reduction which I plan to release a short version for free as an opt-in and then offer the fuller paid version for sale. How do I share private videos that can only been seen by people who subscribe or pay?
