tempe-logo

The Tempe Tourism Office was looking to promote tourism and increase meetings and events in Tempe, Arizona. Throughout challenges such as the pandemic, extreme summer temperatures, and market fluctuations, our 14-year collaboration has consistently delivered results in meetings held, hotel occupancy rates, bed tax revenue, revenue per available room (RevPAR), and total visitors. This international, multimedia campaign included print, outdoor, digital ads, website design, collateral material, trade show graphics, videos and radio across multiple demographics.

Marketing Objectives

  • Create awareness of Tempe’s location and its point of distinction as a vibrant, progressive, and inclusive destination
  • Shift perception of Tempe as a viable and desirable tourism destination
  • Promote Tempe’s many attractions and venues within the event planning community to secure meetings and events
  • Increase hotel occupancy and revenue of local venues and attractions
  • Develop a unified messaging and look across all marketing assets
  • Promote local tourism with “staycations” during slower summer months
