Through qualitative & quantitative research, MACLYN identified CITYGATE’s target market, created a detailed SWOT analysis, and gained insights from current market trends and brand positioning.

We drove a younger, business-minded audience to the campus by bringing Zorba Cocktail Bar and Hotel Arista together to create a lifestyle concept for the urban traveler. Ultimately, we unified the entities and changed the brand perception of CITYGATE from corporate and elite — to modern and upbeat.
