Another group of celebrity fans of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel have been
featured in a worldwide print campaign, created by M&C Saatchi Hong
Kong.
The celebrities consist of Martin Sheen, Whoopi Goldberg, Minnie Driver
and her sister Kate, and Zubin Mehta. Michelle Yeoh was used a second
time because of the runaway success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,
an Ang Lee martial arts movie in which she starred alongside Chow
Yun-fat.
Vanessa Mae, Jerry Hall and Frederick Forsyth were among the stars used
last year to kick off the campaign.
The campaign simply and elegantly connects the Mandarin Oriental's
well-recognised logo - a fan - with international celebrities who
regularly stay at the Group's hotels.
The celebrity fans were again photographed by celebrated photographer
Patrick Lichfield in locations in which they felt relaxed and
peaceful.
M&C Saatchi chief executive officer Ian Thubron said: "To attract four
fans of this calibre and prestige is testament to the power of the Fan
Campaign - not to mention the loyalty that Mandarin Oriental instills in
its regular guests."
