The Pfister

Est. 1893

z2 | The Pfister

A Milwaukee landmark since 1893, The Pfister Hotel’s iconic Victorian style and opulence have been preserved to perfection. It graciously hosts international guests, dignitaries, rock stars and athletes.z2 works with The Pfister team to create unique marketing programs and advertising campaigns that bring new life to the historic hotel, targeting both leisure and business travelers. In addition to producing all of the collateral for the hotel, its spa and salon, and restaurants and bars, we execute all of its photography and video. Our public relations campaigns have resulted in media placements in Taste of Home, Midwest Living, Travel + Leisure, Huffington Post, and many more.

 

Throughout our long partnership with the hotel, there have been many highlights, but we are especially proud of the half-hour, Emmy Award-nominated documentary we filmed and edited celebrating The Pfister’s 120th anniversary. We also take great pride in the development of The Pfister Narrator program, which was recently recognized as one of the best hospitality social media programs by HOTELS magazine.
