As a growing number of hotel brands introduce various content-focused marketing initiatives, Marriott International’s Autograph Collection announced a partnership with The Variety Studio: Actors on Actors and the debut of the Individualists video series.
Through the series, Variety’s longstanding Actors on Actors print feature is brought to life via on-air vignettes featuring performers in one-on-one conversations with each other. The first of the episodes includes Kerry Washington talking with Jimmy Kimmel about the travel experience that helped prepare her for a career in acting.
Variety.com will run 16 conversations from The Variety Studio: Actors on Actors Presented by Autograph Collection Hotels starting June 1, and PBS SoCal stations will televise two episodes of the series during June. Additional featured conversations include Julianna Margulies and Clive Owen, Julia Louis Dreyfus and Jeffrey Tambor and Liev Schreiber and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
“This partnership is the first of many initiatives celebrating individuality and the life-changing experiences that shape a person’s unique narrative,” said Amanda Altree, senior director of marketing for Autograph Collection Hotels. “Our collaboration with The Variety Studio captures very personal, one-of-a-kind moments from the most celebrated storytellers in television and film.”
