WHAT WE DO

Building communities through owned media

At Relic, we help destinations build modern communities through owned media. We believe that no two destinations are alike. If that’s the case, why are so many DMO’s executing versions of the same marketing strategy? We’re here to change that.

By creating powerful owned media assets and cutting-edge distribution strategies to support them, our team will help your destination’s marketing rise above the noise and connect with the audiences that matter to you most.

The Three Cs of
Content Strategy

Our approach to owned media revolves around the Three Cs: Content, Community and Commerce. We create compelling content that cultivates communities, which leads to sustainable commerce.

How we do this revolves around owned media content. Owned media refers to assets a destination owns and has complete control over, like its website, blog, web series and more. Unlike traditional paid media, where you pay to advertise to a rented audience through various platforms, owned media allows you to create and share your message directly with your owned audience. It’s all about building your brand’s story and fostering a direct relationship with your audience without any intermediaries.

Focusing on building your own audience lets you control the narrative, making your marketing initiatives sustainable against changes on rented platforms and deepening your connection with your audience. This, in turn, leads to increased, sustainable commerce as your audience becomes repeat visitors to your destination.

While a full-service marketing strategy is crucial, our promotion of content prioritizes a balanced media mix, leveraging paid, earned and shared media to maximize fiscal efficiency and ensure sustainable success, thus reinforcing the community and continuing the cycle of the “Three Cs”.
