The Montana Office of Tourism and Business Development promotes awareness of Montana as a place to visit. By leveraging Montana’s spectacular, unspoiled scenery, charming small towns, exhilarating experiences and hospitality (Brand Pillars) in advertising, Montana’s messaging fosters inspiration and intrigue.

Regions and towns can provide this engaged and interested audience with more information on where to go and what to do while in Montana. Businesses and resort partners can further support the regions’ and towns’ message by advertising something actionable, such as a sale or deal (this will depend on each JV Partner’s advertising goals).

How is digital advertising different from print advertising? What is a CTR and how do I know if my online ads are performing well? Is there a snapshot of all deadlines somewhere? Who should I send my advertising materials to, once I confirm my ad buy? How does the invoicing for Match Opportunities work? Where can I find more information about Montana’s Tourism Industry?
