🚩 We just made the biggest decision in our 8-year history

Hey there Reader

I have some exciting news to share about the direction we're heading after almost 8 years in business.

It's bitter-sweet for myself and Anthony - and our entire team because we have adored everything building the Travel Marketing & Media ® brand.

That, and change is scary.

Why We're Making This Shift

For years, you've known us as the travel marketing education experts.

We've helped over 42,000 travel professionals and built hundreds of websites. We've created over 20 powerhouse courses, 100+ masterclasses and workshops and logged over 600 hours of free live training and coaching.

👉🏽 But here's what we noticed: some of you walked away with beautiful pieces of marketing but no cohesive system to tie it all together, while others implemented everything perfectly but ran out of time to maintain it all.

It's like having collected some chess pieces but not having enough to actually play a game, let alone win at chess.

You have pieces of marketing but not full systems in place.

Many of you are burning time with marketing that's above your ability or resources, while others are doing nothing at all because you just can't. And rightly so. You don't have the time.

The World Changed (And Keeps Changing)

When we started 8 years ago, TikTok didn't exist, Instagram Stories were brand new, AI was something you saw in movies, and Facebook was still about connecting with friends.

Today? We have AI that can write and design, TikTok became a travel powerhouse, Instagram added then removed then re-added features, Facebook became Meta.

It's starting to sound like "We Didn't Start the Fire"—that classic Billy Joel song where everything just keeps piling up faster and faster.

You don't have time to make a full-time job of keeping up with new platforms and algorithm changes.

But we thrive on this chaos. We live and breathe this stuff so you don't have to.

🎉 And that's why over the past few months we have quietly evolved into a full-service marketing agency. And honestly? We can't wait to take marketing off your task list and your shoulders.

What This Means

We still believe in education—our courses remain some of the best training available.

But now we can also execute the strategies for you.

Want to learn content creation? Take the course.

Want us to create your content so you never stare at blank Google Docs at 11 PM? We'll do that too.

Rather have us handle your email marketing while you focus on planning perfect trips? That's now an option.

We've Already Started

We began working with our first 20 clients 2 months ago, and our only regret is not offering these services earlier.

We're seeing their growth in the analytics, and there's nothing like watching a travel professional's business flourish when their marketing finally works as one system.

🌱 A few days ago I hit send on an email to one of those client and I felt so incredible. In just 30 days we had increased his Pinterest impressions from 945 to 1800 AND increased his engagement by 72%. Better still, he didn't have to lift a finger. He was able to focus on his clients, his team and his family.

We can't wait to deliver the same amazing results to the other 19 clients and welcome many more of you onboard - whether that you handing over to us your email marketing, blog management, Pinterest, website, coaching and analytics, or the whole thing!

Three Ways We Can Help

📍Ready to hand over your marketing? Let's talk about our done-for-you services. Start by checking out the menu of services.

📍Not sure where you stand? Take our Marketing Readiness Quiz for a clear roadmap.

We Know Not Everyone Will Be Ready

Maybe you're still building revenue, love doing some marketing yourself, or aren't there financially yet.

That's completely fine. Stay with us. This evolution is about adding options, not taking them away.

Your monthly Travel Marketing TownHalls, All Access Pass, podcast, and new free coaching series aren't going anywhere.

What's Next

We can't wait to take the marketing work off your shoulders so you can focus on what you do best—serving clients without the marketing overwhelm.
