Case study: FeelFree

PR campaign to position FeelFree as a leading provider of premium accommodation

The challenge

FeelFree was at a pivotal moment in its evolution: Rentals needed to strengthen its premium positioning whilst STAYS had to break into a highly competitive and saturated urban market. The challenge was not simply to gain visibility, but to build a narrative capable of elevating the brand’s perception into lifestyle and aspirational territory, differentiating it from other operators and securing a presence in relevant media beyond a purely sector-specific sphere.

The Goal

To transform an accommodation company into a meaningful media brand: positioning FeelFree Rentals as a premium lifestyle reference and introducing FeelFree STAYS as a differentiated proposition with its own identity in the boutique and urban segment.

Strategy

The strategy was built around a clear principle: not to communicate product, but to build positioning. This involved linking the brand to the codes of the lifestyle world — design, interiors, experience and destination — whilst maintaining a parallel narrative of business credibility in corporate and financial media. For STAYS, a distinct narrative was developed, differentiated from Rentals, focused on efficient, sustainable and boutique urban accommodation.

Tactics

  • Ongoing media relations and generation of editorial opportunities with distinctive angles.
  • Sustained content flow: property features, interior design trends, getaways and seasonal content.
  • Organisation of in-person experiences (FeelFree weekends).
  • Positioning of company spokespeople.
  • Activation at key moments in the calendar (Easter, summer, winter).
  • Dual approach: lifestyle media (ELLE, InStyle, Esquire) and business media (Expansión, Hosteltur, Europa Press).
