McCue Communications specializes in brand storytelling for destination, wine and culinary clients, using media and influencer relations, content creation and social media strategies to ignite brand awareness and inspire interest among consumer and B2B audiences.
Destinations, hotels, attractions, transportation… travel brands need a PR agency that understands the travel business. As tourism specialists, we are plugged into the influencers, media outlets, social channels and events that inspire consumers to travel and drive visitors to your door.
Wine geeks and foodies… that’s who we are, and darn proud of it. With more than 30 years combined experience marketing wine, beer, and spirits, our PR team “speaks the language” and understands the nuances of working with wine + drinks media, sommeliers, mixologists, and the influencers that drive trends and build brands.
From restaurants to real estate, we’ve launched new concepts and products, repositioned businesses, handled grand openings, and generated measurable results for clients seeking strategic, savvy, forward-thinking PR and marketing support in a variety of lifestyle sectors.
“McCue handles our PR and our digital needs with equal acumen, staying on-brand and on-strategy while remaining flexible enough to adapt quickly to changes. We’ve entrusted them with telling “The OC” to the world. And they never disappoint.”
— Ed Fuller, CEO, Orange County Visitors Association (former President, Marriott International)
“As a destination marketing organization, we are constantly working to connect with and inspire consumers to experience our region. The team at McCue Marketing Communications plays a significant role to help achieve that goal with their media relation efforts, content creation and social media management.”
— Brian Tucker, Executive Director, Ventura County Coast
“It was a pleasure working with McCue Communications on the Airport’s first ever photo contest. Their digital strategy and responsiveness contributed to the execution of a seamless and successful contest.”
— Jenny Wedge, Manager, Public Relations, John Wayne Airport
