We bring travel professionals together with travel media – in an informative, social way
Social with Media brings together PR and marketing representatives of travel brands with travel media.
New for Autumn 2023!
Social with Media has gone even more social with the launch of The Connection Hub, a platform offering travel journalists and PRs the opportunity to connect 24/7. This new site also serves as a one-stop shop research tool for travel journalists, with information about all of our subscribing companies in one place!
Our affordable subscriptions give access to our monthly Zoom In webinars, and the quarterly ‘Zoom Out’ networking events.
A quick history
Starting in the lockdown life of 2019, the concept was simple; put 3 or 4 journalists on a Zoom webinar to have a chat about the state of the industry and companies buy a ticket to get updates from some of the top travel journalists. From a standing start, we sold out in hours – so we repeated it with different panelists with hundreds of people attending, all the way up to June 2021. Once world began to open up again in July 2021, we changed the concept – introducing face to face networking events, alongside the monthly webinars.
New for 2023 – Social with Media’s Connection Hub. A place where travel PRs and journalists can connect 24/7. Each subscriber has their own press centre, to store information for journalists to download.
The Connection Hub also serves as a one-stop shop for journalists collating information for articles, and is also where Zoom In will be recorded, ready for playback at any time.
“I’ve been to quite a few Zoom events and that was the slickest and most genuinely interactive I’ve seen yet!”
‘Zoom In’ is no longer a live webinar. The format remains the same, with 4 journalists joining us on a panel to discuss the latest news and developments. However, by not managing the event at a regular time, we open up the pool of journalists as we can work around their schedules.
‘Zoom In’ will still be recorded monthly, and will be available for playback on the Connection Hub, for you to watch in your own time.
The webinars are now hosted by our Executive Director, Benita Finanzio.
“A monthly event not to be missed featuring a diverse and relevant panel of travel editors and writers.”
“I really enjoy going to the Travel Connection Group’s “Social with Media – Zoom Out’ events, where I have made some extremely valuable working relationships (and friendships!) with key media and PRs over the past few years.”
Fran Lambert – Switzerland Tourism
‘Zoom Out’ is our quarterly networking event in London, where Social with Media subscribers can network with top travel media. Hugely beneficial for both those attending and the venues who host us, our events are fun (yes, networking can be enjoyable – we make sure it is), useful and much anticipated by our subscribers.
