Visit Seattle, Seattle's Tourism destination marketing organization, tapped Publicis Seattle as its advertising agency of record, following a review. Publicis Seattle bested two Seattle-based agencies for the win. The agency will manage Visit Seattle's marketing strategy and handle creative, and media planning and buying for local, national and international markets. "We are excited to be working with Publicis in this incredibly exciting time for Seattle and our region," said Tom Norwalk, president and CEO of Visit Seattle. "We are confident they have the expertise to help us continue to build the Seattle brand around the world." With the addition of Visit Seattle to its client roster, Publicis Seattle continues to grow its experience in the travel industry. The agency created campaigns for Seabourn, a luxury cruise line headquartered in Seattle, and a Super Bowl campaign for HomeAway, an online vacation rental site.
