Geiger & Associates

Geiger & Associates Public Relations, Inc. was founded by Debbie Geiger in 1985 after she left the Florida Division of Tourism, where she served as Bureau Chief of the state's 19-member Tourism Publicity Bureau.

Our firm and its 25 destination marketing specialists have assisted more than 200 destination marketing organizations and other tourism industry clients in communicating specific messages to various audiences of journalists and other opinion influencers/potential visitors/revenue sources.

The firm was founded in 1985 by Debbie Geiger, former Publicity Bureau Chief of the Florida Division of Tourism. We have worked with more than 200 destination marketing organizations and lodging properties. Our firm currently works with some 30 ongoing clients (many that have retained our services from 10-32 years).

Introducing their destination to potential visitors in a more comprehensive way than would be possible or cost effective through paid advertising alone. Overcoming outdated or incorrect consumer perceptions with positive and accurate information. Supporting and reinforcing the collective efforts of a destination's tourism industry members.

Our firm has a significant number of reference letters from clients and journalists. We have included a few excerpts here and can make available packets of complete reference letters and additional client contacts upon request.

Following the recent news of the substantial increase in our marketing budget last month, I thought I would take a moment to write to let you know how pleased I am with all that your agency has accomplished for the Roanoke Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau over the past three years.
