Cruise Line Corporate & Incentive Departments
Marketing Consulting
We’ve worked strategically with all of the world’s largest cruise lines as well as smaller niche/higher-end lines. We know that despite having large marketing teams for the consumer & travel agent marketing, many Corporate and Incentive Departments often struggle for marketing resources. Marketing to group & incentive buyers and meeting and event planners & incentive planners.
Having worked with cruise line corporate and incentive departments for several years, we are well aware, that even the largest lines do not provide marketing support for these departments. Our extensive experience marketing to meeting planners and other group cruise targets allows us to provide consultative services to these departments to improve their current marketing methods and provide other means for them to reach their targets. Our services will include advisory services to existing marketing teams through to full service marketing consultations.
We are able to adhere to corporate branding guidelines so as to maintain consistency or develop something completely different or specialized. Our team will segment these services based on specific line target markets so as to avoid a conflict of interest.
