My Favorite Vendor: Thrillist's Alexis Berger Chooses Marriott

“My favorite vendor is Marriott International," said Thrillist Media Group's promotions director, Alexis Berger, who oversees the conceptualization and production of the company's offline programming, events, and video production. "Our annual Hotel Thrillist event was at the JW Marriott Los Angeles at L.A. Live, and our annual BBQ & the Blues event during the South Beach Wine & Food Festival was at the Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach. Due to the threat of rain at the latter, we asked the staff to move our event twice—from outdoors to indoors, then back out—in a two-hour time frame. The staff was not only complaint-free, but they smiled throughout the whole ordeal.”
