Tourism & Hospitality Marketing

Give People a Reason to Visit
and a Reason to Come Back.

Why would a family pick your town for the weekend instead of the one down the highway?

Why would a planner book your venue over the one an hour away?

People choose where to go based on how a place makes them feel. We help you show that feeling clearly in your brand, website, video, campaigns, and everything else visitors see.

Our tourism work includes the Visit Greater St. Cloud website overhaul, the Destination: Woodbury venue launch, and the Milk ’n Honey Summer Music Series, along with branding and marketing for attractions, restaurants, and cafés.

Marketing for Tourism and Destinations

Visitors compare destinations online long before they arrive. Your brand, website, and campaigns need to show what makes your area worth the trip and make planning easy.

We help convention and visitors bureaus, cities, and tourism organizations develop destination brands, visitor websites, seasonal campaigns, and video for leisure travelers, meeting planners, and sports organizers.

Destination Marketing
Success Story: Visit Greater St. Cloud

The Challenge: Visit Greater St. Cloud serves three very different audiences: leisure travelers, sports and tournament organizers, and meeting planners. Its brand and website needed to speak to all three without feeling like three separate organizations.

The Solution: We refreshed the brand with distinct identities for its three pillars (Visit, Play, and Meet) that still clearly belong together. Then we rebuilt the website around how each audience searches and plans, and created the “Build Your Lore” summer campaign with a hero video, social reels, and promotional materials.

“Moxie Creative recently completed a full overhaul of our website and a refresh of our brand logo, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, their team truly listened to our vision for the region. The new website is fast, user-friendly, and perfectly captures the energy of our community. If you are looking for a creative partner that is both strategic and incredibly talented, we highly recommend Moxie Creative!”

Venue Launch Success Story: Destination: Woodbury

The Challenge: The City of Woodbury needed to fill its newly renovated Central Park event space before it had even reopened, and before it had a website.

The Solution: We built seven landing pages, each for a specific audience or event type, and reached corporate planners, nonprofits, wedding couples, and community groups through email, social media, and digital advertising.

In four months, the campaign generated

Impressions and 12,700+ clicks

Inquiries and 68 scheduled tours

Full-space events booked, plus hundreds of partial-space bookings

Instead of opening and starting from scratch, Central Park opened with interest already building.

Marketing for Attractions, Entertainment, and Agritourism

Whether people are buying a ticket, a tee time, a seat at a show, or a day at the farm, your marketing has to sell the experience before they arrive.

For theatre seasons, live performances, and farm visits, we create the branding, websites, promotions, and printed programs that help audiences find the experience and come back for the next one.

Agritourism Success Story:
Milk & Honey Ciders

The Challenge: Milk & Honey Ciders had established a popular outdoor Summer Music Series, but needed a stronger marketing approach to expand its audience, increase ticket sales, and bring more visitors to its St. Joseph, Minnesota, cidery.

The Solution: Moxie developed a recognizable creative theme and a multichannel marketing strategy combining social media, email campaigns, digital advertising, streaming audio, and billboards to build excitement and drive ticket sales season after season.

The Results

Social media engagements during the 2026 series

Overall email click rate across seven campaigns

Combined streaming audio ad reach over three months

Milk & Honey’s Summer Music Series continues to grow, giving visitors another reason to discover the cidery and return year after year.

Spend on What Matters Now

Tourism budgets are often seasonal, grant-funded, or tied to a board’s approval. We help you decide which investments will do the most right now.

For a new venue, that might mean a brand, a website, and a launch campaign that books events before opening day.

For a destination, it might mean a website that serves each audience well, with seasonal campaigns and video added over time.

You get clear priorities, a defined scope, and costs you can plan around.
