The Missouri Division of Tourism is again offering subsidized international marketing opportunities through the nation's destination marketing organization, Brand USA, in conjunction with Miles Media.

Since 2013, MDT has participated in Brand USA’s comprehensive cooperative marketing programs to drive international travel to Missouri. The Springfield CVB has joined MDT in some of these opportunities in the past, including video production, advertising in the Brand USA travel guide and representation on www.VisittheUSA.com.

Many of the program elements are open for participation by private tourism businesses as well as CVBs. If you have any interest in marketing internationally, we encourage you to attend the meeting in Springfield to learn about the newest promotions coming from Brand USA and how the programs could fit into international marketing plans for your business. Each meeting will last approximately two hours and you will be provided a menu of programs from which to choose.

Debi Saldana, MDT’s sales representative at Miles Media, will conduct an information session at 9 a.m. Aug. 23 in Meeting Room A at The Library Center, 4653 S. Campbell Ave.

Please RSVP to Debi Saldana with Miles Media at Debi.Saldana@MilesPartnership.com or by calling 210-723-9957 so adequate materials are provided.
