Introduction
Hi! I’m Aliya Mazri, a 24-year-old graphic designer majoring in digital marketing. Currently, I work at a health insurance agency, where I’ve been expanding my skill set in graphic design and marketing. However, I find myself much more engaged and fulfilled with my freelance projects. The variety of people and projects is incredibly appealing to me. I take immense pride in loving what I do, and that’s what attracts my clients. Growing up in three different countries has significantly shaped how I interact with others, view work, and nurture my lifelong passion for learning.

Brand Introduction
Airbnb has transformed the travel industry by offering a unique platform where travelers can “live like a local.” By creating a community-driven marketplace, Airbnb benefits both guests seeking adventure and a sense of belonging, and hosts looking to share their spaces and earn steady incomes. With its focus on authenticity and local experiences, Airbnb continues to redefine how people travel and explore new places.
Airbnb’s innovative and effective marketing strategies led me to choose it as the brand of focus. They excel in creating compelling narratives that resonate with both hosts and guests. Their marketing campaigns often highlight personal stories and unique experiences, creating an emotional connection with the audience. Additionally, Airbnb leverages user-generated content by encouraging guests to share their travel experiences and photos on social media using specific hashtags. This generates authentic and relatable content, enhancing Airbnb’s credibility and appeal.
