Starmark is excited to announce our partnership with the Monroe County Tourism Development Council as Agency of Record for brand and marketing for Visit Florida Keys & Key West. Starmark will be working directly with three other agency partners dedicated to web, PR and social marketing to define a gravity-defying future for the destination.

As a leading agency in destination marketing, we have always greatly admired the Keys brand. To be here today representing such a beautiful, beloved, vastly unique and incredibly fun destination is a challenge and an honor. As we put together our roadmap for 2026 and the future, all we can say is that we look forward to the rest of the world falling in love with the Keys the way we have.
