Waterloo Regional Tourism Marketing Corporation was formed in 2007 for the express purpose of promoting the Waterloo Region as a year-round travel destination.
Representing eight municpal governments and numerous tourism operators, one of the Corporation's early challenges was to develop a five-year strategic plan with which all partners could agree.
Enter Riverhorse Brand Advisors. Following personal interviews with the General Manager and members of the Board of Directors, Chris Ward of Riverhorse America facilitated workshops to identify important issues and make some hard decisions about the Corporation's future direction. Was this effort successful? In the words of Susan Cudahy, General Manager, "Chris Ward provided invaluable leadership in the development and completion of 'Strategy 2008: The First Three Years.' The outcomes were logical, supported and created a strong base for the organization to move ahead with. I would recommend the services of Chris Ward and Riverhorse Brand Advisors for any organization, whether in their infancy or in the process of continuous improvement of a longstanding corporation."
