Colleen Balzotti

During these times when people are unable to travel, Visit Myrtle Beach is sharing some sunshine to brighten their day. Here are a few highlights of how we’re sharing some sunshine through digital and social media channels, as well as some ways you can share some sunshine too.  

 New Messaging

  • Aspirational - dreaming focus

  • Showcasing space & beauty

We’re utilizing paid digital to share some sunshine. Digital will reach markets east of the Mississippi with search, display and Facebook advertising.
