Media Hot Leads Program:

We've launched a MEDIA HOT LEADS PROGRAM, designed to share media requests for your input directly and in real-time. Our PR agency, TURNER, will be sharing media requests with you through this dedicated email program, and you will be able to directly submit your information for media consideration. Please note, submitting your information is not a guarantee that you will be included in editorial coverage but ensures you are considered for inclusion.

Each email will detail the media request, as well as any special requirements from the journalist. Some of the leads might not be relevant to all our tourism partners, but the program will enable you to more easily share your news when relevant and could potentially result in additional media coverage. Please feel free to have any of your team, or PR agency partners, sign up to receive the media leads to ensure your ability to respond.

Here are a few past leads to give you an example of the type that will be shared with you through this program:

If you are interested, please sign up to receive this email communication here. You are able to opt-out at any time.
