- Build and maintain community and industry partnerships to expand brand reach and engagement.
- Lead communication planning and management, ensuring cohesive messaging across all platforms and channels.
- Write and edit high-quality copy for marketing campaigns, collateral, publications, and promotional materials.
- Create and oversee content strategy for organic and paid media channels, ensuring consistent storytelling and measurable engagement.
- Support the Business Development Specialist with marketing assets, collateral, and campaign coordination for B2B initiatives.
- Manage day-to-day communication with third-party paid media agencies, PR firms, and publications to ensure timely, on-brand delivery.
- Oversee creative production, including photography, video, and design projects.
- Supervise and mentor the Content & Digital Coordinator and seasonal Event Coordinator.
- Maintain a full and up-to-date marketing calendar with work-backs, deadlines, and accountability checkpoints.
- Host and coordinate media and influencer visits, ensuring brand standards and guest experience expectations are met.
- Monitor and report on campaign performance, adjusting execution as needed to achieve KPIs.
Required Experience, Abilities and Qualifications To excel in this role, you should demonstrate:
What We**'**re Looking For
- 5 years in marketing management roles, ideally within tourism, hospitality, or destination marketing.
- Experience in a comparable destination tourism environment is a strong asset.
