Keep Things Moving With a Real Tourism Marketing Agency

On the surface, tourism marketing just looks like pretty pictures, a few posts and an ad here and there. In reality, there’s a lot more to it. The economy over the past few years have made sure of that, with bookings coming in and slowing down regularly.

What matters in these quiet times is having had steady marketing the entire time. Our 20+ years as a tourism marketing agency, working with the likes of Alliance Airlines, Sunshine Coast Tourism and Nitmiluk Tours means we know how to make sure nothing is just for show. Browse our case studies to see some of our unique tourism campaigns or our Branding Roadmap to explore how we’d approach your own.

When A Travel & Tourism Marketing Agency Actually Gets How Bookings Happen

Even bad marketing can look the part. But when it doesn’t line up with how people book travel and tourism-related services, it’s obvious when it’s not working.

This is why we approach branding and promotion as a travel and tourism marketing agency so differently. We tap into why people need what you do and the solution you provide. Even in the quiet times, it allows us to shift the gears so the angle may change, but the solution is still on the table. Learn more about this approach in our Branding Roadmap.

Words are powerful. They are so powerful that 68% of businesses say brand consistency contributes to a more than 10% to 20% growth in their revenue. What would that type of boost in your revenue do for your business?

Working with an integrated marketing communications agency to develop your brand voice and ensure it’s consistent across your website, social media and other content, so you don’t even have to think about it. We find your story and how to tell it so it captivates people to use your business. Discover our branding roadmap and how we’ll do it.

It’s not just words and pretty pictures. It’s tourism marketing that works.

Our Approach To Marketing For Tourism May Not Be What You Expect

Tourism Marketing Communications

 ‘Escape the everyday’. ‘Unforgettable experiences.’ Snorefest. You’re better than the same-old slogans and sayings that every tourism and travel business uses. We get down to your real voice and brand presence so you stand out and get the business.

Custom Tourism Websites

 

You’ll agree that a lot of tourism websites make people work too hard to book. There’s only so much clicking around without finding what you want you can do! Our website builders make custom tourism websites that make it easy for people to make a decision and act on it.

Social Media For Travel & Tourism

You’ve actually got all the content you need to make your socials successful. You do, truly. We can come in and help you know what to do with it so you can use social media to get people to stop scrolling, pay attention, engage and book.

Fractional CMO

 

You don’t need another title in the business, but you do need someone keeping an eye on the bigger picture. A fractional CMO steps in to guide the direction, keep things on track and make sure the marketing is actually doing something for your bookings.

Our Proven Marketing & Communications Services

Brand Voice Development

Ever tried to explain what your business does, but found it’s just too much to cover? Our brand development team will work with you to create your own communications handbook. This guide gives you and your team the right words for in-person conversations and across all your marketing, so you can always get it right.

Website
Content

We don’t need to tell you how important your website is to your business’s success. If you feel like your existing website isn’t getting you the results you need or you just need one in the first place, we can take care of that for you. Your custom website will help you prove you can solve specific problems no one else can to win you new business.

Social Media Communications

So many businesses treat social media like another checkbox to just get done each week. But getting it right can make a huge difference in your bottom line. Figuring out what to post or what to say on those posts is probably the last thing you have time for in your day. That’s why our marketing and communications services include social media, so you don’t have to!

Our 5 Step Process As Your Travel Marketing Agency

This may be your first time working with a travel marketing agency, or maybe it’s not. Either way, it’s your first time working with us. So, we want you to feel confident taking that step and knowing what to expect with our proven process for getting results for real tourism operators, like Nitmiluk Tours, Alliance Airlines and Tourism Sunshine Coast.

1

Before we start making a single plan, we need to know who you are. Not just who you say and think you are, but what your stakeholders envision, what your staff embody and the experience your customers go on. We speak with them all to get the raw information.

2

That information is then pulled apart to work out what it actually means. By looking at it from the outside, we can summarise your business into an actual brand to showcase your true personality that makes you shine.

3

The next step is analysis. What works? What doesn’t? Where are the opportunities and what risks are there? We look at your competitors, their competitors and why people are picking who they are, whether that’s you or other operators.

4

If it sounds like a lot of work, that’s because it is. We’re only now getting to look at what strategies to put in place. Once we nut out the details, we’ll package it all up and document it for you to reveal our plans for your business.

5

Once you’re as happy as we know you’ll be, we get to work bringing everything to life. Every word, image and element of your branding and marketing is worked on as if it were for our own business.
