The roast

Adam Stoker has spent 45 posts in the last month trying to convince the tourism industry he owns the media, yet he’s currently averaging a 0.23% engagement rate. That’s not a content strategy; that’s a persistent telemarketer trying to sell extended warranties to a locked front door.

About Adam

Most destination marketers are stuck renting attention -- paying for ads, chasing algorithms, and hoping their message breaks through the noise. I help them build something they actually own. As CEO of Brand Revolt, I lead a team that partners with destinations and tourism organizations to develop owned media strategies that cultivate engaged, loyal audiences. We don't just run campaigns -- we build brands that attract attention on their own terms. I also host the Destination Marketing Podcast, where I sit down with industry leaders to unpack what's actually working in tourism marketing today. With hundreds of episodes and listeners worldwide, it's become one of the go-to resources for destination marketers looking to sharpen their strategy. I wrote the book on it -- literally. My book, Touchpoints, is a practical roadmap for destination marketers to create memorable and effective brand experiences that drive real results. And because this industry needed a better way to connect, I co-founded TourismIQ -- a community platform where destination marketers share insights, find jobs, and stay on top of what's happening across the industry. I speak regularly at conferences including Destinations International, state tourism conferences, and industry summits. If you'd like me to speak at your event, reach out to kristina@thebrandrevolt.com. Let's connect -- whether you want to grow your destination's brand, explore a partnership, or just talk shop about the future of tourism marketing.

  • When I launched DMO Jam, R. Lee Davis reached out to me and asked if we could build a cohort for the intersection of destination technology, including websites, AI, data and other tools and marketing. It will be a group for marketers who want to get better with tech and technologists who want to get better at marketing. Who would like to be a part of that group? Vimal Vyas Janette Roush Who should I invite? For now, current DMO professionals only please. PS- R. Lee Davis is super cool and would be fun to be in a group with! dmojam.thebrandrevolt.com

  • Google is no longer the front door to your destination. AI is. When someone asks an AI assistant for 'the best weekend trip for a family that likes hiking,' your destination either gets recommended or it doesn't — and there's no paid placement to fix that. The DMOs winning this shift aren't the ones with the biggest ad budgets. They're the ones with the most original, specific, well-structured content for the models to learn from. If your content library is thin, you're invisible to a growing share of trip planning. Not ranked lower. Invisible. #DestinationMarketing #DMO #AISearch #OwnedM
