With an engaged community of 160,000 travel agents, The Compass leverages digital, print and social channels – along with a trove of buying intent data – to compete and win sponsor dollars, alongside plugging its own brands. In this session, Sarah Kneisler, Director of Marketing and Operations, shares how she built a content marketing project into a monetization engine and profit center for the company.
