Buzz Marketing Group and Sulake promote the world of virtual reality through Habbo Hotel

New York, N.Y., November 4, 2005 - Sulake and Buzz Marketing Group will join forces to launch a fully interactive campaign that will introduce and attract new users in the Chicago area to the virtual world.

By working with academic institutions, community organizations and utilizing the best in Chicago-based music, theater and art, Buzz Marketing Group will be building an understanding and excitement about Habbo Hotel, a 5-star online virtual hotel designed for 13 to 18 year olds.

The interactive hotel allows the teens to become a part of the world of Habbo. By "becoming a Habbo," users can dance, walk, eat and drink, and play in game rooms, cafes and swimming pools. Habbos can also hang with pals, make new friends and express themselves in an open environment. Additionally, each Habbo has a chance to design a room to his or her own tastes.

"Interactivity and personalization is what everyone wants when they are part of an experience," Buzz Marketing Group CEO Tina Wells explains. "Habbo Hotel allows you to not only play online, but become part of an interconnected community. We are very excited about introducing Habbo to the Chicago area, and showing them what millions of youth around the world have already become a part of."
