Worldcom partner, DEVENEY, has worked closely with Louisiana Office of Tourism to mount unified strategies resulting in a higher quality of life for everyone in Louisiana. DEVENEY and the Office of Tourism’s partnership to increase visitation in the state of Louisiana spans many years.

The State of Louisiana endured multiple crises over time. The wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita left the state in the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression. The state was also hit hard with the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, recognized as one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history.  DEVENEY was charged with rebuilding the state as a top tourist destination.

To reach that goal, DEVENEY fused multiple strategies and tactics, creating a strong positive image for Louisiana.
