2026/2027 RFP - Destination Marketing Corporation

It’s been 11 years since we issued an RFP, and we didn’t come to play. We’re the Destination Marketing Corporation, repping three tourism brands across two upstate New York counties—This is Cooperstown, We Go Otsego, and Visit Schoharie County—and we’re on the hunt for an agency partner who’s not afraid to get bold, get weird (in the best way), and help us reimagine what destination marketing can look and feel like. This is your chance to shape the narrative, fuel the energy, and build the kind of campaigns that make locals proud and visitors curious. If you're into creative risks, big ideas, and collaborative wins—we think you’re gonna like it here.

PSA for all you sharp agency folks: The budget we included in the RFP is a one-year (2026) budget. Year two (2027) parameters? Those will land ahead of 2027.

If absolutely necessary, like nothing is working on this page and it's July 3, and you need to get in touch with someone... you can email Ryan.
