Jay Spurr
JW Marriott Austin is pleased to welcome Jay Spurr back to Austin as the Market Director of Sales and Marketing. Jay brings nearly 30 years of hospitality experience to this new position and will be primarily responsible for leading the JW Marriott Austin sales and marketing team with expanded responsibilities supporting the new Austin Marriott Downtown, set to begin construction this year. The return to Austin is a homecoming for Spurr, who previously served as the Director of Sales and Marketing for JW Marriott Austin from 2011-2015. The very first associate hired at the JW Marriott Austin in 2011, Jay quickly made an impact as he built and led his preopening sales team to secure over a half million group rooms prior to the hotel’s opening in February of 2015. Under his leadership, the hotel was named one of the world’s top 9 new business hotels by Forbes magazine and received the Marriott International Full Service Hotel Opening of the Year Award in 2015. Jay returns to Austin from San Francisco, where he previously held the position of Director of Sales and Marketing for the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. During his time in San Francisco, Jay successfully led his team to achieve their targeted sales goals and two-year crossover goals for the first time in five years.
