A firm is sought to build a consistent Shenandoah  Valley brand  to  be used in  all  marketing efforts,  including website, print, ads, digital ads, video, etc. The Shenandoah Valley has been working to market the region and increase its presence as a premiere travel destination.  Research and experience has shown that visitors maintain a hub and spoke mentality when they arrive in the region and as a result, they do not plan their visits with locality boundaries in mind. Therefore, the true potential for marketing the Valley lies in marketing the region as a whole rather than as individual localities.
