Tucson,
AZ – November 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Simpleview
– the global destination marketing industry’s leading provider of CRM,
CMS, website design, digital marketing, revenue generation, and mobile
technologies – has merged with Tourism
Media, a top provider of tourism marketing websites and online tools
in Europe.
By
joining Simpleview’s 550+ customers with some 250 of Tourism Media, the
combined companies now serve more than 800 destination marketing organizations
(DMOs), regional tourism organizations (RTOs), hotels, attractions, convention
centers and arenas on six continents. With headquarters in Tucson, Arizona
and Liverpool, England, they employ more than 300 staff in offices spanning
19 time zones.
“We’ve
seen in tourism organizations on both sides of the Atlantic a real desire
to learn from each other,” said Simpleview CEO Ryan George. With this addition
of Tourism Media’s very knowledgeable and passionate staff and more than
250 European DMOs, we have a great opportunity to integrate best practices
from a very diverse and far-reaching family of destination marketing teams.”
Simpleview
President Richard Reasons added that the combined companies are now better
positioned to advance additional goals for the European market:
-
Offering
a wider set of digital services and software, including SEO and SEM, marketing
automation, DAM, visual content management and the industry’s most widely
used CRM;
-
Building
more effective collaborations between tourism and convention marketing
organizations;
-
Creating
greater efficiencies between country-level and local-level destination
marketing particularly in tracking and reporting ROI.
Earlier
this month, Simpleview was designated the exclusive “ROI
Champion” of the International Congress and Convention Association
(ICCA) based largely on the workflow, collaboration and reporting capabilities
of its Partner Extranet and Simpleview CRM – an integrated suite of Customer
Relationship Management tools also known as a Destination Management System
(DMS).
All
52 employees working with Tourism Media will continue in their existing
roles, led by Richard Veal, MD of New Mind | tellUs and based in GMT, giving
customers seamless continuity of service. In addition, they will cross-train
on Simpleview products, services and support.
Tourism
Media’s presence in the European market dates back 20 years through three
combined companies: NVG, Guestlink and New Mind | tellUS.
