Visit Savannah has retained SearchWide Global to find an innovative, determined, team-oriented professional to serve as the new Director of Public Relations. Savannah, Georgia, is a charming Southern escape where art, period architecture, trendy boutiques, and ghost stories are all set under a veil of Spanish moss. Savannah is a place where cuisine comes straight from the coast, and cocktails are served at every meal. Consistently named one of the “world’s friendliest cities” by Condé Nast Traveler readers, this coastal town has a world-class reputation for hospitality and grace.
Visit Savannah, the largest business unit of the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce, is the official destination marketing organization for the Greater Savannah area. We work to provide the resources, platforms, and opportunities for individual local businesses to market their services and products to a variety of travel audiences, including leisure tourists, convention planners, and meeting/trade show attendees.
Visit Savannah works closely with Chamber member businesses to ensure the continued growth and success of our economy. Many of these businesses take an active role in the development of the city through our cooperative sales and marketing projects, councils, task forces, and committees. Visit Savannah aspires to be the leading tourism marketing organization and voice in the Southeast.
The Director of Public Relations will be responsible for overseeing tourism-focused strategic public relations plans, generating positive exposure for our destination, and developing and maintaining strong relationships with industry writers and editors, partners, and stakeholders. This role has a major focus on supporting Savannah and Visit Tybee Island but also will support the Savannah Sports Council and the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce.
