Consultant: Rosalind Johnson
rosalind johnson You can write the greatest marketing plan but it won't work if your business assumptions and strategy make no sense. This simple truth led Rosalind from the marketing of attractions to addressing more fundamental issues. In her 14 years as a problem solver within the closely-defined bounds of the attractions industry, she has worked successfully with numerous theme parks, FEC's, historic houses and gardens, aquariums and destination attractions.
To ensure that her approach remains relevant and realistic, she served as a director of a leading UK attractions association, while on a voluntary basis she sits on various marketing groups promoting destinations and regions.
