The Destination Marketing Manager (DMM) promotes and markets Juneau as a destination for leisure and business travelers and serves as the brand manager for the organization. They accomplish this task through a number of strategies:
1) Website
TravelJuneau.com is our primary marketing tool. The DMM is responsible for its, maintenance, and
management, and for creating campaigns that drive potential visitors to the site. The DMM tracks and reports analytics and metrics monthly or as needed, and with the CEO, sets annual goals for engagement.

provides active Travel Juneau partners advertising opportunities on top of their regular listing. The
Official Visitors Guide serves as an inspirational and functional coffee-table-style publication. We
distribute approximately 60K copies each year to individuals, travel agents, destination marketing
organizations, and others.

3) Hosting Media and Travel Trade
Throughout the year, especially during the summer season, Travel Juneau hosts vetted, qualified travel
media, tour operators, and travel agents on multiday familiarization (FAM) tours. The DMM is
responsible for selecting the participants, planning their itineraries based on their focus or interest,
accompanying them for all or most of the FAM, and reporting the results. The DMM reaches out to
Travel Juneau partners for excursions and other opportunities for FAM participants and must be able to
respond to cancellations or challenges during the course of the tour. The DMM also pitches story ideas
to media at trade shows and via a quarterly newsletter and keeps the travel trade informed of new
visitor options via a separate quarterly newsletter.

4) Advertising
The DMM plans advertising campaigns, purchases some advertising in print publications, and more
advertising on vetted appropriate travel-based websites and publications. Travel Juneau frequently

booth; most shows occur between late October and mid-May.

campaigns. Further, the DMM may contract with professional photographers and videographers to
