On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Tannis Gaffney, Chief Marketing Officer of Travel Alberta. Tannis walks us through the strategy behind Canada's wild side branding and the secret behind making their brand permeate everything they do. She shares more about Travel Alberta's collaboration with Indigenous Tourism Alberta and how that relationship has evolved, opening up new immersive cultural experiences for the right types of travelers. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why Alberta chose to reposition its brand around "Canada's Wild Side" and how leaning into national identity helps the province stand out How research on traveler sentiment influenced their messaging How Travel Alberta encourages creativity and agility, allowing the team to rapidly jump on relevant trends and opportunities How their partnerships are creating authentic, immersive cultural experiences for visitors What strategies Alberta is using to attract American travelers, especially in the winter season How Travel Alberta operates as part of a collaborative "wolf pack" ecosystem, working closely with DMOs, operators, and national partners to drive tourism growth across the province Reimagining Alberta and Showing Off Canada's Wild Side Tannis and her team faced a dilemma familiar to many regional DMOs: international travelers often know Canada's big cities, but not its provinces. Travel Alberta strategically shifted their messaging and instead of leaning exclusively on provincial identity, they now lead with the power of the Canada brand and then highlight Alberta as its most adventurous, untamed offering. By anchoring Alberta's appeal in both its jaw-dropping natural diversity (like six UNESCO World Heritage sites) and the undeniable warmth of its people, the new branding sidesteps "provincial" confusion, offering travelers an invitation to experience "Canada's Alberta", a place where wild landscapes meet welcoming hospitality. Creative Agility Tannis credits much of Alberta's marketing agility to her strategic council. This monthly internal brainstorm is an incubator for spontaneous, opportunistic marketing ideas—ways to seize trends or conversations in innovative, resourceful ways. Take "The Last of Us" TV series, filmed in Alberta. The team quickly released itineraries mapping out the show's filming locations. The response was phenomenal: a thousand percent spike in website traffic as fans sought to experience these sites in real life. Another standout was the "Alberta's Least Liked" campaign, humorously spotlighting untouched, under-visited gems with a tongue-in-cheek video set to sad music and a sobbing moose. The effort won a creative innovation award at the Skift Global Forum and effectively helped spread tourism beyond hotspots, encouraging discovery without overburdening popular destinations. Partnerships and Indigenous Tourism A cornerstone of Alberta's approach is genuine partnership across organizations, sectors, and communities. Travel Alberta's collaboration with Indigenous Tourism Alberta (ITA) stands out as a model. Not only do Travel Alberta and ITA share office space, but their relationship is built on time, trust, and mutual respect. ITA leads in experience development with their members; Travel Alberta amplifies their stories and ensures the right, respectful traveler connects with authentic Indigenous experiences, like the acclaimed Métis Crossing, a boutique hotel and cultural hub on the North Saskatchewan River. This partnership reflects Indigenous values of sustainability, relationship-building, and stewardship, offering a far richer, more transformative experience for visitors.

Alright. I wanna read you a story. This comes from 05/13/2024. It's from the Center for Immigration Studies. Again, this is 05/13/2024. Foreign born population grew by 5,100,000 in the last two years. Largest two year increase ever recorded. The foreign born immigration population hit new records as of March 2024 of fifty one point six million and 15.6%, 15.6% of the total US population. Okay? Now that was from May 2024. They did that study, compiled it, got it all together. Foreign born population grew by 5,100,000, basically, under Joe Biden. Well, here we are in 2025, little over a year later, and quite the opposite has happened. Overall foreign born population is down 2,200,000 from January to July. 2,200,000. That's a trend I can get behind. I wanna talk to Brian from Gaffney. Brian, you were at the event with Lindsey Graham? Yes, sir, Charlie. I went there, last week. I promised I'd take my wife out to eat for lunch Yeah. About a week ago. And this is before I I I knew I was to be off work. This is before I knew Lindsey Graham would be there. Right. And once I found out Lindsey Graham would be there, I decided that's where we're going. Oh, wait a minute. Hold on. This are you the Brian? Yes, sir. I am. You are the Brian. So can I say your name? Yeah. Brian Franks. Brian Franks. There you go. Alright. There you go. You were the guy that had the signs. Right? Yes, sir. I made them at home. So why why did you so tell us the whole story. What was all that about? Well, I made them, not to go in there into his rally with those signs. I made them, and I put them all over my car, taped them to outside of my window, all four windows, the back and the front. And I wanted to park by the road so other people can see. Right. But I wasn't wearing anything inappropriate or anything anti Graham when I went in there. And when I got to the door, Lindsey Graham's people would not let me in. They would not. They said it was a pry private, gathering. You're not you can't you're not welcome. I said, what do you mean? This is public. I heard it on the radio. It's public. And I found out the reason why is I am one of the admins on the dump Lindsey Graham 2026 Facebook page. Were you were you wearing the dump Lindsey hat when you walked in? No. I was wearing my Disney hat, actually. Okay. And I got I got the Dump Lindsey hat from a friend of mine once I got there. So did you who who was the well, I don't wanna know the name, but there was a guy there that got his picture taken. He had that cap on backwards, and on the back of it, it said That was me. That was you? Okay. Okay. Alright. So you did get in? Yes. I I I didn't get in the part where he was speaking. Okay. I tried to get in there before Lindsay even showed up, and his people recognized me because I run the Facebook, dump Lindsey Graham 2026 page. Me and a few other guys started it in 02/2007, and I kept not having to change the year over the last several years. Yeah. We wanna dump them. So you got you got you did not get a welcomed response from Lindsey Graham's people? I did not. I did give one of my signs to a fellow I met in the area I was in eating at the Beacon, and he got behind Lindsay with the cameras behind, that were pointing at him. And then I I went to my car, and I grabbed two more signs that I got behind Lindsay at the cameras. And I was told by the officer to please leave this area. Ah, I guess because you were behind them in security issues and all of that according to them. I was behind I was behind the window. Yeah. So the window was right behind Lindsey Graham, and I wanted the cameras to see because I knew the news was there. Yeah. So, what is the response been from what because we know that, you know, some folks over there, Nate Loype, has spoken out against your your actions. Several other people have. How do you feel? Was this just a freedom of speech issue? It is. And, Lindsey Graham, we've been wanting to get rid of him, and I know I know ...
