Mary Carkin Media worked from 2005 through 2010 for the tiny Lake City, Colorado Tourism Marketing Board.  We implemented some effective grass roots marketing projects, and did some fun and rewarding things with a very small budget.

We ended up with an efficient content marketing strategy.   Not only did we manage to increase the local sales tax revenues and gross sales very significantly, but we kept this up even during an economic downturn.   The Colorado Tourism Office and the Governor recognized our achievements last fall.

The Lake City Marketing Board and Mary Carkin Media's "Heirloom Vacations" program received the 2010 Colorado Governor's Award for Outstanding Marketing Program at the 2010 Governor's Tourism Conference award dinner, on September 29, 2010.
