Here’s what we’ve got for you this week:
Monday, December 14, 5pm EST: Tourism Board and Company Blogs vs. Personal Blogs and How to Make the Jump
We’ve got a series of webinars on how to land specific types of travel content marketing gigs coming up, and for this week’s webinar on Tourism Board and Company Blogs vs. Personal Blogs and How to Make the Jump , I’m bringing in the director of communications from Visit Tucson, Dan Gibson.
Dan himself was formerly a journalist before making the jump into the tourism board side, so he has a unique perspective on what you need to know to transition into this type of writing.
In this webinar, I’ll go through examples of the content travel companies and tourism boards are looking for before Dan comes in to talk about how own transition and how freelancers can working with tourism boards like his.
