Campaigns in the Market
A spotlight on our efforts to promote Milwaukee as the best place for a meeting or vacation.
In August and September VISIT Milwaukee hosted influencers @SamLi, @sustainablyxi, @geodesaurus, and TeriHatland as part of our paid Leisure media plan. VISIT Milwaukee curated robust and exciting itineraries that featured partners including Summerfest, Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, Milwaukee Art Museum, Lakefront Brewery, Discovery World, Milwaukee Public Market, Duffy Boats and more.
Highlighting his 24 hours in Milwaukee, Sam Li created a dynamic hype video that captures the spirit and energy of the city.
