At A Glance
Visit Pompano Beach partnered with McClatchy Media to increase year-round visitation, with a particular focus on driving travel demand during non-peak seasons to support local businesses and generate sustained economic impact.
Challenge
Like many destination marketing organizations, Visit Pompano Beach faced the challenge of maintaining consistent visitation beyond peak travel seasons. While the destination was well-positioned for tourism, non-peak periods presented an opportunity to grow demand and revenue for hotels, restaurants, and local businesses. The city needed a media partner that could influence travel behavior, reach high-intent audiences, and tell a compelling, localized story that inspired off-season travel.
Solution
McClatchy Media launched a tourism marketing campaign in December 2023 designed to drive awareness, demand, and visitation throughout the year. Leveraging McClatchy’s expertise in tourism advertising and localized storytelling, the campaign connected Pompano Beach’s destination messaging with audiences most likely to travel outside of peak season. Strategic media placements ensured the city’s story reached travelers at key moments of inspiration and planning, helping shift consideration into action.
