SELLING JOY
Selling joy can be a tough business. Every empty room, every empty cabin, every empty airline seat is an opportunity lost. In this day-by-day, week-by-week grind chasing “disappearing inventory,” winning the incremental revenue game comes in the margins. It requires seeing your ideal customers as they see themselves. Crafting messages that not only break through, but connect on a personal level to motivate action.
But in the end, success is measured by impact. And our travel & tourism efforts represent millions of incremental transactions for our clients’ brands.
Pure joy.

THE METRIC THAT MATTERS MOST - YOURS
The world of travel marketing has a language all its own. The most important of which is results. And that’s probably something you don’t want to teach a new agency.
If you do anything remotely related to travel, we understand your metrics and how to make them move in your favor with breakthrough creative.
Have a look. Then let’s chat.
WELCOME TO YOUR PARADISE
Our pulse on the travel industry is deep and broad. Over the years, we’ve helped numerous travel brands find success. Not because we understand travel, which we do, but because we understand marketing. We understand people and what motivates them.
And the good thing about experience, it carries forward, in the sense of expanding our knowledge and thinking. Our work with airlines, cruise lines and hotels and resorts to a lesser extent, taught us about the notion of disappearing inventory. The mindset? Every cabin and every seat must be filled because there is no making up on the next cruise or flight. This creates a sense of urgency to solve problems faster and better.

All About Them
Most people will listen to you when what you say entertains and enlightens them. And when your message is crafted for a well-defined audience, you’ll persuade them. After all, an unforgettable vacation isn’t about you. It’s All About Them.
Hearts Then Minds
People accept an argument and plan a vacation for the same reason. They make a decision based on emotions and justify their decision with facts. Touch Hearts, Then Minds will be open to your message.
Make it Simple
Thoreau may have written “Simplify, simplify” but we’d advise you to “Simplify.” Make It Simple. Less is more.
Make it Quick
The world’s getting faster, and consumers are offered dozens of vacation options every day. Make It Quick.
Make it Yours
The easiest way to communicate is to mimic your competitors. However, you run the risk of people thinking you’re the same as your competitors, or that you ARE your competitors. Make It Yours with a message that looks, sounds and feels like you alone.
All Five Senses
It’s not enough to just blurt out information. The most effective communication and the most memorable vacations inspire all the senses. How will people feel when they’re experiencing your brand?
What will they see and hear? Is there a scent or a taste? All Five Senses make an impact.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Say it and then say it again. Because nobody has enough time in the day to give you full attention. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat your authentic Brand Values often, and in new and inspiring ways to make sure it sinks in.


WE BELIEVE
Founded in 2001, we were often labeled a creative boutique for our over-sized ideas and attention-getting campaigns. Truth be told, everything we have ever done has been grounded in strategic thinking, believing that a solid foundation enables creative minds to flourish and find better solutions.
We believe the power of a big idea can defy the odds against the big spenders, over-produced campaigns and copy-cat sameness with its false safety. Always committed to standing behind our work, we introduced the notion of ‘performance-based’ compensation before it was a thing.
The point? We still care deeply, and invest our time, talents and thinking to meaningfully impact people’s lives.
ABOUT US
Disproving the traditional tenets of size, money and power.
The Deck Is Always Stacked
One against many.
Small against mighty.
New against old.
But Not For Us
Here at The Republik, we’ve assembled a team of free thinkers willing to push one another into powerful collisions of insight that dismantle the tenets of size, money and power to meaningfully impact lives.

Play Together Stay Together
COUPLES RESORTS
FEATURED CLIENT
Early on, all-inclusive resorts in tropical locations, like Couples, were the “it” vacation. But as they multiplied, a quantity over quality formula left them looking and sounding tired, cliched and uninspiring.
With targets set on a younger, more energetic customer, we saw an opportunity to recast Couples Resorts as an aspiration. High fashion. High style. Of the moment.
The message? Couples that play together, stay together.
With this nudge in the right direction. Bookings soared to 100% occupancy.

ABOUT US
We recognize that today, everything is interconnected and immediate. Siloed thinking just won’t do. We are a true republic of free thinkers, willing to push one another into powerful collisions of insight driven by a common pursuit – the best idea wins.
So in addition to our traditional roles, we’re problem solvers, one and all. Gaining understanding by listening to customers. And even more importantly, those who didn’t buy. Staying fluent in all forms of media, social media, promotion and placemaking so we can connect with people in their daily lives.
Do you know?
Or do you think you know?
You will hear that from us a lot. Getting it right means being willing to go down a new path if necessary – always questioning. If you already have the answer, you probably don’t need us.
-
What separates us, in our view, is our strategic approach to problem-solving. Over the years, we’ve developed a formula that creates results, derived from a keen understanding of business models, marketplace dynamics and customers’ wants and needs.
While the formula is repeatable, it is by no means cookie cutter. Every assignment requires focus, inspiration, thoroughness and hard work. There’s no magic. No silver bullet. No tea leaves. It is a process that enables continual improvement, increased efficiency and accelerated success.
-
When you think of ad agencies, you often think of silos. Creative. Account Services. Production. And the like. Not here. Not us.
We are all problem solvers first. One and all. And we all have multiple functional responsibilities. Why? Everything today is interconnected. While we all bring a special point of view to the table, we have a shared responsibility to our client companies and their brands.
We are fluent in all forms of media, social media, digital, placemaking, experiential design, promotions, events, and public relations.

Channeling the age-old wisdom of Alice’s Cheshire Cat, “If you don’t know where you are going, it really doesn’t matter what road you take.”
Truth is, clients often come to us with a solution in mind. Based on what they’ve seen from others. Based on their own experiences. Or simply, based on what they wish to be true.
Do you know? Or do you think you know?
We ask these questions because we never want to start with assumptions, either our clients’ or our own. Any action based on what we collectively “think we know,” is a recipe for wasted time, money and ultimately, failure.
