JG Black Book champions the independent travel experience About the company JG Black Book is an international branding, public relations and marketing agency for the hospitality and tourism industry. A one-stop resource for generating exposure, building networks and increasing sales, our team has led innovative strategic campaigns for more than 125 of the world’s most celebrated travel brands. Our focus — and passion — is to support companies that offer the authentic and meaningful experiences travelers truly hunger for. Our clients — top hotels, tour operators, cruises and tourism boards — come to us because we understand that many of
the world’s best travel companies don’t have access to the tools, resources and advocates necessary for them to succeed in a landscape that is constantly evolving. While they remain the true treasures of the industry, it can be difficult for them to gain traction against larger, more well-known competitors. Industry: Travel and tourism In a nutshell: JG Black Book is an international branding, public relations and marketing agency for the hospitality and tourism industry.
Some firms specialize in public relations. Other firms specialize in marketing. We specialize in results. Our integrated services model was designed to maximize the impact our clients can have in this ultra-competitive marketplace. And we have the expertise and connections necessary to deliver.
