Marketing at the Washington Duke

We'll meet in the Forest Meeting Room. What would you do if it was your job to promote one of the region's leading hotels and golf courses, a magnificent facility affiliated with a great university? Now suppose your hotel is located in a city with a rapidly growing economy, including several new hotels that may compete for your customers. At this meeting, you'll hear from two of our communications colleagues who face these questions every day. Jack Schmidt, director of sales and marketing, and Sheena Cooper, marketing manager, will tell us about the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club's current marketing challenges and activities. They'll also discuss the many ways in which the hotel interacts with the rest of the Duke community. As you might hope, they'll serve refreshments, too. If you have time, you might also want to hang out after the event, at the hotel bar or elsewhere, to network with your fellow communicators. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to sakiya.lockett@duke.edu .
