The Digital Champions Program will help work towards digital goals for your business, identify areas requiring attention and remove barriers to improve online presence and grow your business in our dynamic digital marketplace.  Through a three-pronged approach, providing business-specific recommendations for improvement, online tech training sessions and access to online courses, you will be assisted to assess, develop and grow.

The Process

Introductory Workshop

The program begins with a live online introductory workshop hosted by Tourism Tribe, where you’ll meet the team, gain a clear overview of the program structure, and learn how to make the most of your Digital Engagement Health Check™ and other program resources. This session will set you up for success and help you get started with confidence.

Digital Engagement Health Checks™

We’ll then schedule a full Digital Engagement Health Check™ of your online assets, including your business website, Google My Business listing, Facebook and Instagram.  Each business will receive a copy of their assessment report, which will be extremely useful to guide your learning focus and priorities.

Coaching

For those who have opted in to the coaching component of this program, you will benefit from a 1 hour one-on-one session with our digital and tourism experts. You will be invited to book your session once you have received you Digital Engagement Health Check™.

Digital Champions Course

During this three-month program you’ll complete Tourism Tribe’s signature course, Digital Champions. Depending on your current level you will focus on either Digital Champions 101 for digital marketing beginners or those wanting to strengthen the basics or Digital Champions 202 for operators with an established digital presence looking to optimise and expand.

Tourism Digital Assistance Member

You’ll also have access to all the perks of being a full Tourism Tribe Digital Assistance Member including the extensive Tourism Tribe online course library to help you to improve your knowledge and digital skills. Twice per month you will also be able to attend an online tourism tech training session where Tourism Tribe experts will teach you new skills. You’ll also have the opportunity within these sessions to discuss your challenges and issues with a member of the Tourism Tribe coaching team, and hear from other operators from around Australia about their experiences in developing their online presence and digital marketing strategies.
