“A ‘brand’ is not a thing, a product, a company or an organization. A brand does not exist in the physical world – it is a mental construct. A brand can best be described as the sum total of all human experiences, perceptions and feelings about a particular thing, product or organization. Brands exist in the consciousness – of individuals and of the public.” – James R. Gregory, “Leveraging the Corporate Brand”

Lecture on city branding at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands by Eduardo Oliveira.
"Cities and mega-cities, rather than countries, are increasingly becoming the principal protagonists between geographical regions. The competition between cities to establish their credentials as the best choice for prospective visitors, investors, business, students and talented people will intensify as places focus on how to convey their competitive edge and relevance" (Baker, 2011).
Here is a chance to create a "big idea" for your brand, which that big idea is then used through the organization. It would help frame the long range Brand Strategic Road Map, helping to frame the brand promise, strategy, story, freshness and experience behind the brand. That big idea also gets used to tell the brand's story, both internally through vision, values and behaviours, and externally by creating a brand position in the minds/hearts of consumers through mass communication, logos/packaging and the inshore experience.

The sector of Destination Marketing has undergone several identity crises, resulting in name changes. Thus, the “Destination Marketing Organisation” (DMO) is becoming “Destination Development, Management and Marketing Organisation” (DDMMO). Of course we do not want to come up with another acronym but this is a way of describing the changes occurring in both Tourism Industry and Meetings Industry. DMOs require a much fuller and deeper coalition of destination partnerships to maintain the visibility of their destination as a great place to live, work, study and visit. With this holistic approach, there is for sure room for DMOs to engage not only towards leisure travellers but also with meetings, incentives conferences and events industry in a targeted way that meets the wider policy objectives of their city.
DESTINATIONS AND COVID-19: HOW TO BUILD A SUSTAINABLE PATH TO RECOVERYTOPOSOPHY
Last week we published the Covid-19 DMMO Continuity Checklist, a practical resource to guide destinations everywhere on their Covid-19 response, and help them towards a sustainable recovery
When compiling the Checklist, in partnership with European Cities Marketing, we looked, as we usually do, beyond the travel and tourism sector to get the big picture. This helped us to assess some of the broader shifts and trends in the economy and society that were already occurring before storm corona hit at the beginning of this year. Sounds interesting, right? However there’s little point about observing these trends without considering what they could mean for us in practical terms, and at TOPOSOPHY we are all about turning insights into practical solutions! We’ve condensed our trend analysis into five areas:
1. The Place
2. Citizens’ Expectations
3. The Industry Approach
4.Contextual Challenges, and finally what all this means for...
5. The Purpose and Vision of DMMOs

In the second of this ‘‘Uncovered’’ series of reports, experts at TOPOSOPHY lift the lid on tourism trends in Mexico and make an honest, frank assessment of the top priorities for government and business in the
country today.
Domestic and international tourism in Mexico is continuously growing. The tourism industry growth continues to ride higher than the average national GDP growth and investment in the tourism sector is pouring into the country as the main source market, the United States, recovers from the global financial crisis. Nevertheless image remains the main concern as incidents relating to organised crime continue to affect parts of the country and Mexican citizens have mobilized to demand more security as mid-term elections approach (Summer 2015).

Furthermore, Mexicans’ views of their own country can often be subject to an inferiority complex or over-influenced by current events. Discover TOPOSOPHY’s take on the current state of Mexican Tourism in this candid report that aims to provide an external view and an independent perspective on how a tourism industry with high potential can deliver for the country in the future.
