Linkd Tourism has inked a deal to continue to provide representation for the Arizona Office of Tourism (AOT) across trade, public relations and marketing in Australia and New Zealand and boost the presence of ‘The Grand Canyon State’ Down Under.
The tourism board joins the consultancy’s USA lineup of Colorado Tourism, New York State Tourism, Visit Seattle, Port of Seattle and the State of Washington Tourism.
Arizona is known for its stunning landscapes and is a top spot for sports and outdoor enthusiasts, thanks to more than 330 days a year of sunshine.
Its diverse terrain provides year-round activities from hiking in the Grand Canyon and Sedona to world-class golf courses, hot-air ballooning and white-water rafting, ensuring there’s something for every thrill-seeker.
For sports fans, there’s pro baseball, football, and basketball teams. Beyond sports, the US state’s rich culture includes 22 Native American tribes and a vibrant Western heritage.
Connecting with Australians & Kiwis
AOT CEO Lisa Urias said: “Arizona is excited to grow our connection with Australians. With so many new resorts, experiences and attractions to share, we’re looking forward to working with Linkd Tourism as a critical partner in sharing the absolute best of the Grand Canyon State.”
Linkd Tourism Account Director Millie Browne will lead the strategy with Trina Shepherd and Jennifer Plahm running PR, Ben Urquhart on consumer campaigns and Jack Curtis as the key trade contact.
“We are thrilled to have been appointed as the agency to continue representing AOT in our market,” Ms Browne said.
“The AOT team are professionals in the industry and having AOT’s Joanna Tejeda recently in-market shows the dedication of the team and commitment to the Australian and New Zealand market.”
