• Mississippi Gulf Coast with Kids, A Surprising Beach Destination (#1 web search result for keywords “Mississippi Gulf Coast kids” and page 1 for “things to do on the Mississippi Gulf Coast”)

Coastal Mississippi very much enjoyed hosting Colleen and her delightful son – from the initial itinerary planning, Colleen was inquisitive and enthusiastic to experience all the unique family offerings on The Secret Coast, and that enthusiasm continued throughout their visit. From exciting and compelling social media posts, to a wonderfully comprehensive recap of her visit to Coastal Mississippi, Colleen’s work truly reflected our destination and the diverse experiences it has to offer. We look forward to seeing her again soon!

I worked with New Orleans & Company and the Louisiana Children's museum to host Colleen and her son for the opening of the new museum. She was easy and professional to work with and the results of her work were more than worth it. I'd work with Travel Mamas for another destination again anytime!

Colleen was a great partner to work with Visit Burbank. She was very professional, responding quickly to questions and open to suggestions. She went above and beyond, delivering more than asked. We enjoyed hosting Colleen and her daughter as they took part in some of Burbank's top attractions. She worked with us to convey a wonderful story about the city to her followers in both her social posts and stories as well as her in-depth blog article. Her work was beautiful and fun, and it captured the diverse experiences and excitement that our city has to offer. We hope to work with her again in the future.
