Ateema Media & Marketing, LLC

Today marks the 16th Annual Concierge Day in Chicago. We proudly recognize the concierge professionals who elevate the visitor experience and support our hospitality community every day. Congratulations to all — and feel free to give a shout-out to your favorite concierge.

Cheers to Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association and Michael Jacobson and Crains for a great article and post. Chicago doesn’t move without its hotels — and if this new Crain’s article proves anything, it’s that the hospitality engine underneath this city is a lot bigger (and a lot louder) than most people realize. -Visitors spent $20.6 billion last year. -They generated $2.79 billion in tax revenue. -They supported 372,000+ jobs across the city. And every one of those numbers starts with the same moment: Someone checking into a Chicago hotel and asking, “So… where should we go?” That’s where the magic happens — and where the entire hospitality ecosystem kicks in: -Concierges recommending their favorite neighborhood spots. -Restaurants welcoming hungry travelers. -Attractions hosting families and friend groups. -Neighborhood businesses getting a surge from out-of-towners. -Event pros filling rooms, venues, and ballrooms. -Transportation hustling to get visitors everywhere they want to be. -Hotels setting the tone for the whole city. At Ateema, we see this chain reaction every single day. Our role is simple: we help connect the hotels that drive the demand with the businesses that serve that demand — the restaurants, attractions, experiences, venues, shops, and creators that define Chicago. And tools like the Chicago Does Interactive Video Map? They make the handoff smoother, faster, and more fun for visitors and hotel teams. Not a pitch — just the reality of why we built it: to make discovery easier and to help Chicago shine. Chicago didn’t earn “Best Big City in the U.S.” again by chance. It’s because of the people in hospitality who make this place unforgettable — day in and day out. To our partners, concierges, clients, planners, event pros, hotel teams, marketers, and business owners: Your work fuels this city. And we’re proud to support you and the incredible ecosystem you’ve built. — Ateema Media & Marketing Helping Chicago’s hospitality businesses get found, chosen, and visited.

And so well deserved! Cheers to all the hard working folks in the hospitality business that make Chicago the outstanding experience that it is for our guests! Thank you to Choose Chicago for your leadership!

Nearly 48% of experience bookings happen after travelers arrive (Think with Google). Think dinners, attractions, shops, transportation, and more. In Chicago, those decisions don’t happen online alone — they happen through concierges, hotel staff, and local insiders. If they know your business and it’s top of mind, you win. If they don’t, someone else does. That’s why we created two flagship networking events: 📅 Hotel Meetup — Nov. 4, 2025 - to put your business in front of 150+ hotel team members before the holiday season 📅 The Summit — April 28, 2026 - to promote to hotel influencers, event & wedding planners, DMC’s, social media influencers, and media Both events help tourism businesses connect with the people who drive in-destination decisions. You can save money by bundling the two together and buying them this month. 👉 Read more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gN8dDGzb 👉 DM us, or email Sales@Ateema.com to schedule a quick call with our sales team.
