Intrepid's Marketing Transformation

In today's dynamic travel industry, achieving the right balance between brand building and performance marketing is crucial for sustained growth. Leigh Barnes, COO at Intrepid Travel, emphasized this balance in a recent video, where he shared his perspective on how Intrepid shifted its marketing strategy. According to Leigh, after the pandemic, Intrepid made a bold move by significantly increasing investment in brand-building efforts, such as out-of-home advertising, radio, podcasts, social influencers, and PR. This rebranding strategy, coupled with a broader focus on long-term growth, has led to record-breaking results year after year, including higher bookings, profits, and brand awareness.
