The Go Getters is ibis' first-ever social miniseries and it introduces five friends with a unique archetype that resonates with different types of travelers. Starring real filmmakers and creators, The Go Getter tells the story of a group trying to reunite for a weekend in Budapest. Along the way, they experience challenges but collectively adopt a mindset that sees them still go when things don't go according to plan.
“The Go Getters represents a fundamental shift in how hospitality brands can connect with the next generation of travelers,” said Jean-Yves Minet, Global Brand President, ibis brands. “Gen Y and Z don't just consume content differently—they expect brands to entertain, not interrupt. Miniseries allow us to do exactly that. We're not asking for their attention; we're earning it by creating stories they associate with and actually want to watch and share."

- Miniseries Marketing
- By leveraging the miniseries format, brands can create engaging, episodic content that captures sustained viewer interest over time.
- Traveler-influencer Collaborations
- Collaborating with real-life filmmakers and creators offers authenticity that resonates strongly with younger audiences seeking genuine travel experiences.
Sectors Adopting This
