12: Social Media Mastery with Melea Hames

Stuart Butler

How can destinations use podcasting to build and maximize their owned media? This is a topic that Adam delves into in a presentation at the eTourism Summit with Stuart Butler and Melea Hames, proud clients of the Destination Marketing Podcast Network.  "Audio is such a powerful format because it provides the concept of passive consumption, and allows you to tell a much deeper story. [People can listen] while they're driving in the car, while they're doing laundry, going to the gym, and that's when the lightbulb turned on for me. That podcasting was really going to be a thing." - Adam Stoker  Visit Myrtle Beach Unexpected Adventures in North Alabama  Follow the Destination Marketing Podcast on social media: Instagram Twitter YouTube TikTok  If you’re enjoying the show, please leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!
