MMGY brings more than four decades of travel and hospitality specialization to its public relations, social, and experiential marketing practice, with teams across North America, the UK, and Europe serving destinations, cruise lines, airlines, and hotel brands. The past year paired industry-first partnerships with large-scale activations for some of the sector's most recognizable names. For Visit Williamsburg's America250 celebration, the agency brought The Great American Birthday Quilt to life, inviting Americans from every state to contribute to a sweeping public artwork revealed in a public ceremony and celebrated live on national television from the destination. For Visit Atlantic City, MMGY secured a partnership with Hasbro and transformed Washington, D.C.'s Union Station into a life-sized Monopoly experience, a concept so popular the destination later installed it at the Atlantic City Convention Center. The team also delivered the first tourism destination integration in the history of American Idol for Visit California, bringing the state to life during a full hour of live national programming. Another highlight came with Amtrak, where MMGY supported the long-awaited launch of new Acela service through four coordinated Northeast events in a single day, while simultaneously leading global communications for Oceania Cruises' newest ship, Oceania Allura. Rooted in research and long-standing media relationships, the practice keeps turning destination stories into national moments.
