How We Think
Our Approach
The only constant we see as a destination marketing agency is continual change, where the norm is blending technology and creativity. We continue to evolve based on data, performance, and alignment to marketing goals and objectives. The most recent themes we’ve incorporated into our marketing philosophy include:
Madden is 100% focused on growing communities through tourism and economic development. It’s imperative that DMOs and their agencies bring ambassadors together to raise the destination as a whole—moving from cooperation among partners to solving the major challenges and opportunities in your communities.
There are layers to being trustworthy and conscientious marketers in the travel industry including privacy-centered promotion, inclusive representation in creative and personalized content, and ensuring your agency is actively working to develop long-term growth from the resources they’re trusted.
We know that DMOs have a responsibility to their boards and stakeholders to use funding effectively and efficiently. By taking Insightful Action, DMOs can incorporate new processes to decipher data and adjust strategies to optimize spend and performance across all channels to achieve their goals.
