About the Marketing division
Working as a key partner on the GREAT Britain campaign – both internationally and domestically – our work boosts Britain’s appeal as a tourism destination, improving its ranking in the eyes of international travellers, and increasing visitor spending in all parts of Britain. This is supported through our work with global brands such as the FA Premier League and film-makers on brand partnership campaigns.
Digital is at the heart of our marketing, with a focus on content creation, curation and distribution for England and Britain. Not only is our content is distributed through visitbritain.com, visitengland.com and our dedicated social media channels for Britain and England to inspire visitors to travel to destinations and regions all over Britain and England, but we also have a robust strategy to ensure that our content is where potential visitors are making their holiday decisions.
Supporting our overseas PR network, we provide central resources for international journalists, including an online media centre which includes regularly updated, copyright-free features and previews about new developments, attractions, events, anniversaries and accommodation throughout the UK.
