MMGY is a global travel and hospitality marketing agency specializing in public relations, social, and experiential marketing with a fully integrated approach. Over the past year, MMGY executed major campaigns including the launch of The National WWII Museum’s Liberation Pavilion and Costa Rica’s “More Essential Than Ever” brand campaign, which also helped secure Costa Rica as Travel + Leisure’s 2025 Destination of the Year. The agency added notable new clients including I Love NY, Bermuda Tourism, and Visit Zurich, further expanding its representation of top state and international tourism destinations. MMGY facilitated Bermuda as the location for two Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers and created innovative partnerships, such as Apple Vacations’ Pages in Paradise program with Belletrist Book Club and Penguin Random House, promoted by Emma Roberts. The agency also managed sensitive campaigns for AlUla, Tourism Northern Territory, Tourism Western Australia, and Visit Rwanda, and supported clients through crisis communications for natural disasters including the Los Angeles wildfires and hurricanes Helene and Milton, guiding these destinations through recovery with thoughtful communications strategies.
