"Visit Atlantic City has partnered with Northstar since 2014, with campaigns consistently tailored to our destination’s goals. Most recently, Northstar helped us host a successful event in Atlantic City, IPEC, where independent planners experienced the city’s hospitality and amenities firsthand. Northstar also captured on-site testimonial videos, showcasing planners’ positive impressions. Their forward-thinking initiatives continue to drive the success of our campaigns."
