Nicole Mahoney,

 Destination On The Left Podcast Host and CEO, Break the Ice Media

Hi! I’m Nicole Mahoney, founder of Break the Ice Media a marketing agency focused on tourism marketing and host of the popular podcast, Destination on the Left.

 

Break the Ice Media was launched in 2009, with a focus on helping organizations and businesses in the travel, tourism & hospitality industry attract more visitors. At its core, BTI is a marketing communications firm with a strategic approach to content marketing that includes public relations, social media marketing, digital advertising, video marketing, search engine optimization and more. By telling the stories of our client’s brands, we help them engage with their target audiences and drive visitation to their destinations. This hyper focus has resulted in 13 awards and industry recognition just since 2017.

 

In October 2017, I launched Destination on the Left, a podcast focused on the travel, tourism & hospitality industry, exploring successful collaborations, creative marketing ideas and best practices. Each week I interview destination marketers, industry leaders, consultants and businesses in the travel, tourism & hospitality industry and every week I learn something new. 

 

I believe that the travel, tourism & hospitality industry is a core economic driver for every community. My vision is to enable travel and tourism professionals to be better at accomplishing their goals in order to have a greater impact within the communities they serve. I would like my legacy to be one that has served this industry in such a way that we have created a positive impact on the economy and there are stronger communities because of it. 

 

The Destination on the Left virtual summit is another way for us to help you become better tourism professionals and I am excited for the content of the upcoming online event. 

I am grateful for all of the presenters who have agreed to take this journey with me and offer this amazing content to all of you.

 

I hope you will join us!
