Destination Public Relations
Building positive and strong relationships between your DMO and your local and regional media is one of our specialties. As a strategy first PR agency, we our process begins by deep diving into the media landscape in your region to understand who the media players are and how they have reported about tourism in the past. We then map each media personality out and devise an approach to build stronger relationships between them and your destination.
The goal with our destination public relations program is to create trust over time either by providing valuable and exclusive insights and information about the tourism industry in your region or through creative paid media partnerships that get the media on your side. This is where our Value of Tourism and public relations programs come together to help you meet your DMO’s business objectives.
Regardless of the approach needed, the goal is always the same – build a community of local and regional media champions that your destination can rely on to help tell your destination’s tourism story.
