Designing your story
Conception and production of outcome-focused high-impact content in a variety of formats… creating a story that becomes a key differentiation factor.
Strategy
Just who do you need to address, and in what way? Almont Global works hand in hand with you to ensure the messages have maximum impact. We also assist brands in reputation management and crisis management.
Resources
A diverse range of dedicated talent, including editors, journalists, copywriters, specialist photographers, video producers, designers, and social media and IT specialists, develop and execute ideas that earn attention and drive business impact.
Media Relations
The ever-shifting media landscape and the relationships necessary to generate high-quality coverage require effective media pitching and an intimate knowledge of the workings of the media. This gives heightened visibility to the stories you want to tell.
Getting Digital Right
Travellers increasingly have “platform-centric” journeys, putting themselves at the heart of the story. “Designing for discovery” and “platform fluency” engage the traveller where he or she is, while keeping a finger on the pulse of where they may go next.
Influencer Marketing
It is essential to identify “culture-shapers” and advocates who truly influence key audiences, and work with them to ensure the content they produce drives measurable results.
Virtual Experiences – Real Results
We work with those on the cutting edge of the latest Virtual and Enhanced Reality technologies in order to design “virtual visits” to your place from afar, or to vastly enhance the experience of those who have finally made it there!
Sustainability
Our planet’s most vulnerable destinations must be protected by transforming travel industry impact on nature and communities. The socio-cultural authenticity, cultural heritage and traditional values of host communities must be respected, while contributing to inter-cultural understanding and tolerance.

“For several years, in my talks with owners and senior executives of hospitality companies, destination marketing organisations and receptive agents, it became increasingly evident that there is a need for knowledgeable unbiased high-end advice and support when it came to marketing and communication. By bringing Richard Barnes and Mary Gostelow into this equation, Almont Global offers a combination of talents and contacts that I believe are without equal in the industry” – Yuriy Horovyy – founder and director.
