What I do
Hi, I’m Charlie, a freelance tourism marketing specialist helping tourism companies connect with the Australian travel trade.
Connect, Engage, Inspire
My mission is simple: I love what my clients represent and want to help them grow their business.
I provide an all-round marketing and representation service with a focus on training and engagement to increase awareness, visitation and sales.
Past and present clients include Destination Canada, Rocky Mountaineer, Destination British Columbia, Travel Alberta, Banff & Lake Louise Tourism, Visit USA and Miss Snow It All.
Join the team
I integrate with the teams I work with, treating their brand and their reputation as if it were my own. I understand the trust it takes to outsource a brand and represent with pride and passion.
I join my clients’ teams on a project basis, able to offer external input and ideas coupled with flexibility of service.
I make it my business to be an expert in the destinations and products I work with. Not just because I have to be but because I want to be.
How I Can Help
I have solid relationships with clients, wholesalers, tour operators, airlines and retail agents across Australia. I perform a variety of sales and marketing activities for my clients including:
Webinar Hosting
Face-to-Face Training & Sales Missions
Events & Expos
Business Development & Partnerships
Social Media & Newsletters
Campaigns & Incentives
PR & Media Relations in partnership with PR-Marketing
Who I am
I’m passionate about exploring the world and discovering extraordinary experiences near and far. I love to share stories of adventure, epic journeys, secret spots and unexpected finds. I am at my happiest outdoors; skiing, mountain biking, trail running, kayaking or swimming in the ocean. Mum to two young daughters, I know there are never enough hours in the day and that everyone is stretched for time and resources.
