SPORTS & LEISURE RESEARCH GROUP - The Intersection of insights and strategy
travel scene
For the past seven plus years as Golf Digest Publications’ Vice President of Corporate Marketing, Research and Brand Development, and previously at a leading cruise line, I’ve worked with top brands in resort, destination and travel marketing to deliver insight driven marketing assessment and strategy. Running a full service research consultancy within a media company has been quite rewarding, but I’ve always had a desire to take that approach further...to utilize best of breed approaches and meld them into the foundation of a different type of marketing consultancy,...that objectively works with the industry. It’s with a clear focus on that singular objective, and the unique challenges facing our industry, today, that I’ve formed SPORTS & LEISURE RESEARCH GROUP!
