 Bringing
media to your doorstep, we know that media coverage and quality exposure is
worth the wait...from the time a journalist visits a
destination until they craft their stories and get them
published. Creating excitement about a trip that is filled
with new adventures and clever story angles is what we are
known for.
Our company understands the relationship between
representing a destination and making media coverage come to life for
the writer. Knowing the ‘best kept secrets’ about a
particular area is what journalists want to experience and
we personally escort our writers throughout the journey.
Whether it’s a media visit for one night or an extended
in-depth stay, nothing is more rewarding than a warm
welcome, a fond farewell and knowing that there is more than
one story to be written!

"Finding the
back story, the details to give readers real insight into a place, takes extra
effort and Leigh Cort partners brilliantly with journalists. Her agendas appear
easy-going at first glance but always contain rich details because her advance
and on-site planning covers every step. Venturing into the back woods at Private
Islands of Georgia’s Eagle and May Hall islands prove the point; Leigh doesn’t
stop at the edge of the marsh!"
Christine Tibbetts, Tifton GA Gazette, CNHI News Service |

“Every detail of
our trip to Eagle Island was thought of and addressed. Laidback. Entertaining.
Intriguing. Gracious. Hilarious. Classy. Organized.
Relaxed. Thrilling. That’s Leigh Cort! The warmth, the
professionalism, the caring was felt long before we met in person. Eagle Island
is all that she said it was, and much more!”
Jennifer J. Beaumont, Philadelphia PA |

“Everything was
professional and excellent,. I want to tell you that the congenial group and the
wonderful itinerary did a lot to lift my spirits and restoreth my soul.”

“Leigh Cort left
no detail unattended in planning this media trip. She coordinated everything –
even graciously arranging to change the dates of our visit upon our request.
Leigh is the epitome of professionalism. I continue to enjoy the pleasure and
ease of working with her. By the way, it’s no wonder that this discriminating
publicist accepted The Sandpiper Inn as her client. This property truly is
Forgotten Florida, and as she says - and we learned first-hand - “it’s the real
deal”.

“You, my dear friend, are the BEST! And this tour was the best ever for me

my wildest expectations by a mile!”

tours are always the highlight and most elegant of travel
writer events for me. Tour education – and pace easy. Your

"I always
look forward to working with Leigh Cort, especially when
that means spending time with her in person. She is not only
efficient, professional, and charming but goes out of her
way to cater to the needs of individual journalists. That is
a rare calling in the 21st century."

"Our trip
really was terrific! Alex and I agree that it was one of the
most pleasurable we have experienced thanks to the
professional way you put it all together; the behind the
scenes work that was evident in all the planned events that
went off so smoothly. The little surprises and extras were
truly appreciated."
Ann & Alex Augunas, Golden Times/Travel & Photojournalists |

"Leigh Cort
is the consummate PR professional. Her media trips are
precision-run and tailored to the unique interests of a
blend of travel writers. There is no detail too minor for
Leigh to tweak. She sees to it that writers leave their
destination with an in-depth, insider's eye to its special
attributes. I love working with Leigh because one trip feeds
me many, many articles on wide ranges of subjects."
MARY WARREN, New York Travel Journalist

"I’ve worked
with other PR professionals in the travel industry, but I’ve
not met one that understands their profession as well as
Leigh does. She left no detail unattended, from the welcome
packet with treasures related to the destination and had
organized activities that every writer was eager to attend.
She created a positive, compelling and educational light
where I walked away with more articles than I had
anticipated – a sign that an expert in the industry hosted
the trip."
Stephanie Moreland, Sarasota Radio, Global Web Magazine |

It was an
outstanding media trip, perfectly orchestrated, where
activities take place when they are scheduled. Your care in
communicating to the journalists maximized our time. It’s a
difficult task to bring together a diverse group filing each
individual need. You do this with grace, high energy and
boundless enthusiasm”.
