Iconic rapper, actor, and philanthropist Ludacris has partnered with Booking.com to give four lucky guests a two-night stay at his mansion in Atlanta.
The Ludacris Welcome To Atlanta Summer Send-Off is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will offer guests a peek into Ludacris' luxurious world.
The best part? This family-friendly experience will be bookable for only $4.04, a reference to the iconic Atlanta area code.
The latest marketing stint includes a jam-packed itinerary curated by the rapper himself, including:
- A two-night stay on the 22 acre Ludacris compound, where he has lived in since 2003
- A 30-minute meet and greet with the man himself
- A private screening in Ludacris' indoor theater
- A few games on Ludacris' full-size basketball and tennis courts
- A special BBQ by the lake under the Atlanta sun, with food by a local chef
- A dinner at one of Ludacris' top French restaurants, Le Bilboquet
- A big bag of goodies, including signed copies of the rapper's chart-topping albums
- A luxury ride and chauffeur service, for the duration of the experience
All in all, this experience couldn't have come at a better time: according to research commissioned by Booking.com, about 62% of Americans cite quality time with family as a main reason for traveling this year.
"I'm excited to be Booking.com's newest host and welcome guests into my Atlanta home for the ultimate family getaway," Ludacris said in a statement. "As a dad of four kids myself, family time is incredibly important to me, and I’m thrilled to open my home so guests can create unforgettable memories as a family," he continued.
Ludacris also emphasized his desire to make celebrating special moments easier for everyone, which he shares in common with Booking.com.
Bookable on a first-come, first-served basis, one lucky booker will be able to snag the two-night stay (scheduled for September 3-5 of this year) on August 28, 2024at noon ET.
This new campaign is a perfect combination of influencer marketing and experiential marketing taken to the next level, giving fans a chance to experience life in Ludacris' shoes.
