4. I have an email telling me my job has been returned, why is this? If we have returned a job to you, it will be because we need some further information from you or need to ask a question. Please go back into the job in the Global Content Gateway, using the option 'My Current Jobs' and you will see our query in the 'Further Hotel Review Required' box. Please provide the additional information and submit the job back to us. Please note that while a job is back with you, the clock is stopped and we do not count this time as part of the overall time of the request. The clock restarts as soon as we receive the job.

5. How do I know which form to use in the Global Content Gateway? We have tried to make the forms as easily identifiable with the areas of the sites as we can, and the most common forms used are:

  • Image Update form for all image requests
  • Special Offer form for Marketing Offers on the sites
  • Special Alert form for informing guests of something at that may negatively affect their stay.

    If you have any questions about which form to use please email:Content.Gateway@hilton.com

If an image has been previously submitted, it will be stored in MediaBin, so we will only need its MediaBin reference to load onto the sites. If however, you have a new image to submit, please use the upload feature at the bottom of the Image Management form that allows you to attach and submit multiple images.

It takes a minimum of 24-hours for updates to go live on the brand websites, after we have entered the data in our Content Management Systems. Some areas of content update quicker than others.

    12. How long does it take for my content to be published on a third party site e.g. Travelocity?All third parties have their own update schedules and although we may have sent them the updates within 24-hours, it can take some sites up to 2 months before you will see the changes go live. On average it takes between 1 and 6 weeks for updates to show live on the third party sites.
