NATCHEZ, MS, September 17, 2015 – The Natchez Convention & Visitors Bureau has contracted The Goss Agency, one of America’s premier cultural tourism branding firms, to direct a comprehensive branding and marketing campaign for the 300-year-old City.

Through its extensive, multi-faceted branding process, Asheville marketing firm The Goss Agency will create an evolving brand platform for Natchez to implement over the next several years. The branding will integrate all aspects of what Natchez represents into compelling visual and written communications. Natchez’s resulting brand campaign will position the city in its rightful place among the nation’s significant, historical, and cultural destinations.

“In my 20 plus years in marketing travel and tourism destinations, from Disney to islands all around the world, I am as excited as I have ever been with the rich cultural, musical, and historical experiences that Natchez (rhymes with matches, as I was so gracefully corrected while visiting) has to offer.” – Jeff Goss, C.E.O. of The Goss Agency.

“With the unanimous support from both our Tourism Advisory Council, as well as the Promotion Tourism Bureau, we are very excited to bring together two of the top firms in their respective industries,” said Kevin Kirby, C.E.O. of the Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We believe the expertise of The Goss Agency and Lou Hammond & Associates Public Relations will help position Natchez to take the next step in our growth as one of America’s premier destinations.”
