About Compass Media

Not your average digital marketing company. We are a full-service, online digital marketing company  composed of web designers, email marketing professionals, copywriters, and overall content marketing professionals, dedicated to meeting the needs of the travel industry.

Travel marketing is our specialty .  Unlike other marketing agencies that just want to show you how to market, we actually market on your behalf, saving you time to focus on your core business: selling travel.

Like you, we’re also entrepreneurs and know how to go the extra mile to make projects successful. We’re always ready to work with you on what’s important as it comes up and we are only a phone call or email away!

Are we for everyone? The simple answer is no. If you are content with the marketing and tools provided by your host agency or if you are the DIY type when it comes to web marketing, then we are probably not a good fit for you.  But if you are:

  • Looking to Grow Your Business;
  • Want More Time to Focus on Your Core Business;
  • Want the Peace of Mind that comes with a professionally managed online presence;
  • Willing to Invest In Marketing beyond your host agency

Then we have a custom solution for you guaranteed to fit your specific needs and budget!
