Hyatt Centric "Sunrise To Sunrise" Campaign Invites Travelers To Explore The Very Best Of New York City

The Hyatt Centric explorer vending machine is part of the new "Sunrise to Sunrise" campaign that launched earlier this month, positioning the Hyatt Centric brand as a catalyst for local exploration and discovery. The campaign also includes a collaboration with Passion Passport, a community of travelers, storytellers and creatives inspiring exploration and discovery.

"We have all experienced the thrill of discovering something unexpected in the places we visit, and Hyatt Centric hotels are great launchpads for people looking to explore everything the destination has to offer," said Sandra Cordova Micek, senior vice president of global brands for Hyatt. "We want to inspire a sense of adventure, and our new Hyatt Centric campaign represents that spirit, including our explorer vending machine located in the heart of the Flatiron District - one of the best places to explore in New York City."

By simply posting a photo on Instagram of their favorite destination and including #HyattCentric and #Sweepstakes, eligible visitors to the machine who qualify can push the button to win one of over 1,600 prizes, all of which are meant to arm modern-day travelers with what they need to get out and explore.

• Tickets to an exclusive performance by Jason Derulo at Hyatt Centric Times Square co-hosted by iHeart Media

• A 2016 Vespa Primavera motor scooter

Hyatt Centric Sunrise to Sunrise Campaign
The Hyatt Centric brand is working with one of Passion Passport's biggest Instagram influencers, Jedidiah Jenkins, who is embarking on 24-hour explorations in select cities where Hyatt Centric hotels are located, including Chicago and New York, documenting his adventures with followers visiting local hidden gems throughout the city. The Hyatt Centric Sunrise to Sunrise Contest encouraged all local explorers to post their favorite local spots or recommendations on Hyatt Centric's Instagram channel for a chance to win a trip to New York for an exclusive performance tonight from Jason Derulo at Hyatt Centric Times Square, co-hosed by iHeart Media.

"I've traveled to some of the most interesting places in the world, so working with Hyatt Centric to explore these iconic cities is an opportunity to do what I do best during my travels – hunt down the hidden gems, the local hotspots, and the places that people don't typically find in visitor's guides," said Jedidiah Jenkins. "It's amazing to see a brand commit itself to equipping travelers with everything they need to explore, discover and travel."

To follow Jedidiah on his current 24-hour New York City adventure and to find out more about the Hyatt Centric pop-up explorer vending machine, visit Hyatt Centric on Instagram.
