Rob Bates PR

I’m a senior level PR professional, adept at devising and implementing integrated campaigns that deliver maximum return on investment for travel and tourism brands, whatever the budget.

I am independent but also work alongside the experienced teams at White Tiger PR , Eyes2market UK Limited and ATP Heathcote & Associates.

Current clients include Grenada Board of Tourism; Castello del Nero in Tuscany; Andara Resort & Villas in Phuket; The Madison in Washington DC; and Terranea Resort in LA.

Over the past twelve years I have worked with leading travel brands including airlines, visitor attractions, hotels, ferry companies, tour operators and destinations.

Quoted by Daily Mail on hotels’ approach to TripAdvisor and interviewed about social media use in the travel industry on PR Week website.

Check out my case studies or give me a call to discuss your travel PR needs.
