Caitlin Gouge, on the Importance of being (and staying) authentic:
“Stay true to your brand and make sure that every piece of content and every interaction that you're putting out there goes back to who your brand is at its core. At the Island, we’re very authentic, very open and honest on our social media, and a lot of brands are a little too scared to be that way.”
We hang out with marketing director, influencer, social media machine, and super mom, Caitlin Gouge. She’s been at the helm of marketing The Island in Pigeon Forge for almost five years, and it’s been a wild ride, from breaking ground to becoming one of Trip Advisor’s top ten destinations. Right off the bat, you’ll hear Caitlin’s passion, her dedication to craft…and her unwillingness to compromise her (or a brand’s) values.
Its an inspiring conversation that will leave you with a lot to think about, and some really great tactics to bring to yourself, and your brand.
Nourish your creativity.
Reenergize your spirit.
Spark new thinking...and always be on your best behavior.
Virtually every brand has a website, but many fall short when it comes to disability inclusion and accessibility. Check out DS Director Of Strategy Josh Loebner's article in AdWeek to learn how to ensure that your brand is going beyond just ADA compliance: https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/agencies-need-to-implement-accessibility-measures-when-designing-websites/
Did you know that The Island in Pigeon Forge was recently named the sixth best amusement park in the US by TripAdvisor? (They're a pretty cool client, too 😉) We helped refresh their website with new icons, color palettes, an itinerary builder and more. We also spent the day playing...er...capturing new photo and video assets. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. Check out the new site here: https://islandinpigeonforge.com/

Strategy without design principles is lifeless and cold. On the other hand, design without strategy is simply art. Learn why design needs strategy–and vice versa–on the DS Blog.
