How past matching programs made a difference for our travel and tourism partners.
“Thank you, Advance Media NY for offering the AMNY Cares Matching Grant in 2020. The extra reach we got from the matching grant added value to our buy in a year when we most needed the help. I call on AMNY not just because the team shows up at our conferences, but because the staff actively learns about our needs and comes back with programs (like the matching grant) that demonstrates they listen and care.”

“The AMNY Cares Grant came at just the right time with much needed support for our CVB to continue marketing in a time of deep budget cuts and out-of-state travel restrictions. Bridget and the AMNY team helped us put together a series of campaigns that made sense. They doubled our budget, reached our target audience and produced great results.”
Kevin Costello, President & CEO
Corning Finger Lakes Tourism
“We found out about the AMNY Cares Matching Grant through a webinar with the New York Wine and Grape Foundation. With a $4,000 budget, we created 3 video ads to promote visitation as well as create awareness of our new shipping options (now to 39 states). The team at AMNY is creative, knowledgeable and supportive. Lakewood is very happy to have these video ads that we can use to promote the winery.”

Sample of NYS Travel And Tourism Matching Grant Program
A NYS destination was looking to advertise their historical sites and spring events. The destination committed a $4,000 budget.
The destination used their $4,000 budget on creative services – video and other campaign assets – to showcase their spring events.
AMNY matched their $4,000 investment – providing a 50% match for $2,000 worth of video impressions on NYuptravel.com to distribute their newly produced destination video.
$4,000 upfront commitment + $2,000 matching grant program from AMNY = $6,000 marketing budget to promote their spring campaign.
