4.
Establish and maintain effective strategic alliances with the NT industry with a focus on being the main point of marketing contact
with the two Regional Tourism Associations, internal NTG departments as well as relevant travel supply chain partners and
associations.
5.
Manage the relationships with Tourism NT’s creative, media and public relations agencies, ensuring the effective delivery of
outcomes from these agencies within budget parameters.
6.
Track, measure and report on the return of investment across all key activities as well as monitor trends to ensure Tourism NT’s
campaign and brand programs remain efficient, effective and relevant and retain the highest strategic integrity and impact.
