At VROOM Digital our PR team also works with many tourism clients who like to take a multi-pronged approach when it comes to their PR campaigns. This means we will conduct outreach to numerous media channels i.e. online, print and broadcast.
In October 2021, we worked with EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum, to share the news that they had been voted Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction at the World Travel Awards for the third year running. On the launch day alone, our media outreach resulted in 40 pieces of coverage across online (e.g. The Irish Times), print, broadcast and social media, with another 30 or so pieces following in the days following the announcement.
