The problem we solve is helping your travel brand get stories published on long-tail blogs.
When was the last time you’ve tried to organize a press or FAM trip? How did you measure results? (Julie from Visit Niagara or Mark from Brand USA)
-Why you can’t talk to bloggers themselves?
-You submit guidelines around your story as well as targeting criteria
-Bloggers apply to the campaign if they are interested
-We show you all the publishers who applied and you can decide who to work with
-Handle all drafts through the platform
-6,000 verified publishers across various verticals
-We don’t have the reach of an Outbrain, but an investment with us includes the content creation as well as the distribution of the story
-Through transparency about the numbers, you can back out the costs, reach of stories, and expected ROI
-Publishers have skin in the game to share the stories as widely as possible since they are compensated on readers, allowing for accountability
-You pay for what you get, but stories generally go above and beyond their expected readership since they live forever on the blogs where they are published
-Jason Hackett (New York Circle Line Cruises) – Telling stories about experiencing Macy’s July 4th fireworks on a cruise while everyone needs to watch from the Westside Highway
-Mark Lapidus (Brand USA) – Culinary tourism is big. Food and lifestyle bloggers writing about the Flavors of USA guidebook and the Travel Channel/Food Network vignettes featuring chefs.
-Julie Gilbert (Visit Niagara) – imagine arts and music bloggers writing about the Historic Lewiston Jazz Festival or the Old Falls Street Oktoberfest
