At Crowne Plaza, we want our guests to feel able to do their best, achieve their goals, and be recognized for their success. We’re Making Business Travel Work by Bringing Humanity to Business Travel. We challenge the old world of business that’s overly formal, rigid, and where guests feel like a room number, not a person. We embrace the new world of business with caring and flexibility – through hotel colleagues who Dare to Connect!

Dare to Connect is our Service Style at Crowne Plaza hotels.

• Assist in organizing events and managing partnerships with marketing assets.
• Review and approve translations and communication materials in English and Arabic.
• Manage relationships with local marketing agencies for advertising, design, and printing.
• Develop and implement marketing plans, including IHG One Rewards initiatives.
