Hotels.com Calls for Super Bowl Fans to Make Game Day Babies
If it’s up to Hotels.com there will be a baby-making boom following the rush of the Super Bowl LIII.
Fifty-three fans (for the 53rd Super Bowl) who root for the team that wins will get a free hotel room on game day, Feb. 3, to make a “Big Game baby.”
“This is our way of getting in on the game-day action. Whether fans grow their own team with a Big Game baby or just want to celebrate their team’s victory,” Katie Junod, general manager of Hotels.com, North America said.
Players enter the sweepstakes at www.BigGameBabies.com after the game ends and have 24 hours to enter for the chance to win the one-night hotel stay. Winners can then book a night at the hotel of their choice on Hotels.com and share news of the win using the hashtag #BigGameBabies, but “keep it PG-13 please,” Hotels.com cautions.
To add to the romance, the brand, who worked on the campaign with ICF Next, created a romantic playlist featuring 53 (for Super Bowl 53) jams to set the mood.

The sweeps is being actively promoted through PR and on the brand’s social media channels from now until Super Bowl Sunday, both on Twitter and Instagram, as well as live tweeting throughout the game.
As for how the brand will measure the results? “Despite our marketing team’s best efforts, winners will not be required to disclose if any babies were conceived as a result of the Big Game Babies contest; however, it would be awesome if they did,” the team said.
