The Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce has a new marketing campaign aimed at establishing Beaufort, S.C., and its surrounding areas as a premier leisure travel destination.
As part of the new marketing campaign, the Chamber collaborated with The Brandon Agency, a South Carolina-base
d, full-service marketing firm, to develop the new logo and tagline for the area, along with new fulfillment such as an updated website and a paid advertising schedule.
The new creative will be used in print advertising beginning in early 2013 and the new logo is currently viewable on the Chamber’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

“We’re excited to help position Beaufort as a premier travel destination,” said Scott Brandon, president and CEO of The Brandon Agency. “The new campaign truly reflects the culture, and variety of offerings available to visitors in a fresh and consistent way.”
“It’s imperative to our tourism industry success that we cohesively brand and market Beaufort and our surrounding areas,” said Robb Wells, tourism division executive at the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. “By being proactive and maintaining clear and consistent messaging, we will most effectively market ourselves to potential travelers.”
