Engaging Our Consumer Audiences
Marketing is a powerful tool to showcase the vibrant tourism experiences in Hamilton, Halton, and Brant. At RTO3, we provide a variety of opportunities for tourism operators to elevate their visibility, connect with audiences, and grow their business. Whether through our consumer-facing channels or collaborative campaigns, our marketing initiatives help partners shine.
RTO3 engages with our consumer audience, stakeholders and business operators on social media through Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
If you’re active on social media, be sure to tag, mention and/or use one of our brand hashtags in your posts. In addition to helping us learn about new tourism products and experiences to showcase in our own marketing efforts, looping us in on your social posts allows us to promote your content on our channels as well.
Social Media
Reach engaged audiences through RTO3’s consumer-facing social media accounts on Instagram and Facebook. Here’s how you can get involved:
Tag Us: Include @TheHeartofOntario in your posts and stories to be featured on our channels.
Use Hashtags: Amplify your reach by using our main tag of #HamiltonHaltonBrant, or region-specific hashtags such as #Hamilton, #Halton, and #Brant
Submit Content: Share high-quality photos, videos, or news about your business for potential inclusion in our social campaigns.
Social media is a key driver of discovery for our audiences. Let us help you showcase your offerings to an even wider audience!
