Hospitality Executives to Benefit from Specialized Media Training Through New Industry Partnership

STONY BROOK, NY — March 25, 2025 —To help hospitality leaders communicate with confidence and control their company’s story across all channels, CJ Media Solutions and Glenn Haussman of No Vacancy News are partnering to provide comprehensive media training to hospitality companies and executives. By helping more hospitality leaders become effective communicators, the partnership aims to strengthen the industry’s collective voice and its ability to advocate for itself.

“Better communication across the sector means more investment, smarter regulations, and a more attractive industry for top talent — all of which contribute to long-term success for everyone involved,” said Christopher (CJ) Arlotta, founder and managing member of CJ Media. “When executives learn to tell their stories confidently and connect with their audiences — whether that’s journalists, investors, or industry peers — it creates real business value.”

Communications professional Arlotta’s B2B public relations agency provides media relations, content, and crisis communications services and more to hospitality companies. Glenn Haussman, media expert and president at No Vacancy News, is the voice of hospitality, helping hoteliers find success through frequent keynote speeches, panel moderation and his “No Vacancy” podcast, which for the past nine years has interviewed the most notable people in hospitality.

The partnership evolved from a realization that they had both received numerous requests from hospitality leadership looking for help communicating with the media. It was, Arlotta said, “a consistent pattern that signaled a real need in the market.”

The partnership will include the following services:

• On-camera and podcast coaching: Delivering key messages, staying composed under pressure, and captivating audiences during interviews.
• Public speaking and panel preparation: Refining presentation skills to engage and inspire audiences.
• Message development and storytelling: Developing compelling narratives that resonate with media, stakeholders, and peers.
• Crisis communication: Strategies to handle tough questions and maintain brand integrity.

“CJ and I saw a clear need for specialized hospitality industry media training. Executives are constantly asked to represent their brands publicly, but many haven’t had the opportunity to develop those specific skills,” Haussman said. “By combining our backgrounds, we’re able to offer practical training addressing exactly what hospitality leaders need—the in the moment confidence to communicate effectively in any situation.”

The partnership combines unique hospitality knowledge with proven media expertise, bringing together skills that general training firms can’t replicate. This specialized training ultimately translates to tangible business outcomes: stronger brand reputation, more favorable industry coverage, and hospitality leaders who can successfully represent their organizations across all communication channels.
