In this continuation of the Be The Readiest campaign, we stepped away from comedian and spokesperson Rob Riggle. Still, we wanted to keep the humor that Holiday Inn Express is known for. So we focused on the hotel guests instead and thought of what could be the craziest things you travel for and need to be the readiest. The actor we used in the gaming spot was a professional gamer, and he really did those hand exercises to warm up before competing. And the actor we used for the wedding bouquet spot could actually jump that high in those 6-inch heels. She wanted to do a taller box, but it appeared fake. They really were the readiest.
