Travel opens people’s eyes to new places and cultures, which in turn makes them more open and accepting of differences. Madden focuses exclusively on travel and tourism marketing because we believe in the impact of connecting people to new places and experiences.
We know first-hand that every dollar from family vacations, weddings, group visits, and business meetings impacts local businesses and residents by creating jobs, supporting infrastructure, and elevating communities as a whole.
Located in a historic downtown flatiron building, Madden’s family owned and operated business was established in Tucson, Arizona in 1982, where we started producing and publishing local visitors guides. Over the nearly four decades we’ve been in business, we’ve grown to become a nationally recognized leader in destination marketing. We are in it for the long haul and we’re always looking for creative, experienced, and forward-thinking collaborators to grow with us.
An equal opportunity employer, Madden is committed to creating and maintaining a workplace in which all employees have an opportunity to participate in and contribute to the success of the business and are valued for their skills, experience, and unique perspectives. With half of our leadership positions filled by women, we’re off to a good start but we know we can do better: bit.ly/MediaAllyship
We take pride in cultivating a supportive and engaging company culture with diverse talent recruitment, a casual dress code, office snacks, topical book clubs, and continued education through webinars and conferences with industry leaders.
We believe that travel is for everyone and we encourage our team members to create memories and stories of their own by providing generous benefits.
With 7 paid holidays, competitive PTO available from your first day of employment, and floating holidays to celebrate your birthday and our favorite hometown event, the Tucson Rodeo, we urge every employee to use all allotted paid time off each year.
