Testimonials
– Barbara Golden, Communications Manager, Florida’s Historic Coast
“I have had the pleasure to work with Mary and Ray Chong to provide coverage about our destination, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra & The Beaches. Mary and I carefully planned her itinerary to develop content that would have an appeal to her audience. Not only were Mary and Ray very professional and a pleasure to work with, but they also delivered great content on an ongoing basis resulting in a comprehensive guide to the city.”
– Colleen Onuffer, Consultant, Break the Ice Media, Finger Lakes / Rochester, NY
“As a PR agency representing various destinations across Upstate New York, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mary Chong on behalf of multiple clients. Mary makes the entire hosting process easy and enjoyable – from working together to come up with trip ideas and story angles, to providing constructive feedback on stops and schedules. She is always upbeat and positive during FAM tours, and willing to try new adventures! Mary’s social media posts and articles are always timely and do a great job at providing a detailed, authentic recap of her experiences. She’s one of the writers we can recommend to destinations without any hesitation!”
– Christi Braginton, International Media Relations Manager, Virginia Tourism Corporation
“Mary Chong (Calculated Travel) attended one of our group media familiarization trips to Virginia recently. Throughout the trip, she was the consummate professional, always engaged in the activities and eager to participate. She asked great questions of the interviewees and took wonderful pictures at each location, enabling her to produce story after story about her experiences. Mary’s approach of producing numerous articles and social media postings about her adventures meant more specific coverage for our tourism partners and less ‘one line mentions.’ Mary brings strong ROI to any destination marketing endeavor and I look forward to working with her again.”
–Nori Rodriguez, Communications Manager, Experience Kissimmee
“Working with Mary Chong, Founder of Calculated Traveller has been a valuable partnership for Experience Kissimmee. This past fall, we hosted Mary on a media FAM to promote the World Food Championships and culinary experiences in our destination. Through her savvy social media skills and passionate storytelling, Mary exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond for our brand. So much so, that we even worked with her on a sponsored twitter party that trended nationally and increased sweepstake entries in one hour. She is a credible source in the blogging community and I would highly recommend working with her.”
– Brian Hayden, Communications Manager, Visit Buffalo Niagara
“Mary has become one of Buffalo’s greatest ambassadors north of the border. Her enthusiasm for our city that she conveys in her stories is contagious and her role as an influencer has helped convince other bloggers to visit and keep spreading the word about our revitalization. We look forward to continuing to work with her in the future!”
– Kathleen Rooney, Principal, Kathleen Rooney Communications
“I have had the good fortune to work with Mary Chong (Calculated Traveller) on multiple occasions and a variety of destinations – from the most rural backroads of Western New York to the urban core of Buffalo’s economic renaissance. She is a polished professional who knows a good story when she sees it and has an accessible approach to reporting her adventures. Mary’s social media tactics and photography skills round out the picture nicely. I would highly recommend her for destination marketing and personally look forward to working with her in the future.”
– Columbia Sportswear Canada
