Crowne Plaza's nearest audiences are dominated by tech media and technology brands — not other hotels. Across the top 10 neighbors, the scores compress into a narrow band from 0.95 down to 0.93, with no single entity pulling far ahead of the rest.
Slack leads at 0.95, followed by Hyatt House at 0.94 — the only other Mid-range Hotel in the top 10. From there, the cluster is almost entirely tech-oriented: Ars Technica (0.94), GitHub (0.93), Lifehacker (0.93), WIRED (0.93), and Engadget (0.93) all sit within a few hundredths of each other. Subcategory-wise, the top 10 breaks down as: five Marketing Channels (Websites, Blogs, and Magazines covering tech), two Technology brands, one Mid-range Hotel, one Transport and Logistics brand (FedEx, 0.93), and one Website (The Verge, 0.93). Tech media — websites, blogs, and tech-focused magazines — accounts for the majority of the set.
The near-absence of hospitality neighbors (only Hyatt House in the top 10) is the structural finding: Crowne Plaza's audience shape aligns far more tightly with the professional, tech-forward readership of outlets like TechCrunch and TNW than with the lodging category it occupies.
This flat, tech-media-saturated cluster points to an audience that is primarily business travelers with a strong professional and technology orientation.
