Let's Make Travel
Better Together

Travel is a huge, competitive industry. With overtourism on the rise and the intensifying impacts of climate change, it’s important to do things responsibly now more than ever.

Effective communication is the bridge that connects your services to people and partners that want to do travel better.

It’s about aligning perception with reality and the sustainable values that you are committed to.


I’ll help you reach your audience and drive meaningful change using effective marketing strategies that resonate.

The result? A trusted responsible tourism business that gives people a reason to feel good about travel.

75% of people want travel companies to offer more sustainable options, but 44% don't know where to find them.

Jamie Burr

In 2018, I began my master’s degree in tourism management where I learnt all about the good, the bad, and the ugly in the industry. It was clear to me that we need to do things better.

I recognised the desperate need to increase the awareness of sustainable tourism among travellers and turn that awareness into action. At its core, marketing is not about “Sell! Sell! Sell!”, it’s about effective communication.

After several years working in various marketing roles, I now partner with tourism businesses and destinations that want to use travel as a force for good.

By developing responsible and effective strategies and campaigns, I connect tour operators, hotels, tourism boards and more with travellers to give them and better, more meaningful experiences that benefit locals and the planet.
