About the Role
Are you a fly-fishing, hunting, outdoors enthusiast who also happens to think in content calendars, captions, and campaigns? Or maybe you run your own marketing shop, have experience in sporting or outdoor travel, and are looking to take on another client that actually understands the lifestyle you market. If either of those sounds familiar, we would love to talk with you about our Social Media Marketing Specialist role at Frontiers International Travel.
This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes outdoors travel and can translate that passion into thoughtful, authentic marketing. You will take the lead on our Sporting division’s social media presence, with a strong focus on Instagram, while also collaborating on a variety of broader marketing initiatives as needed.
About Frontiers International Travel
Frontiers International Travel was founded over 55 years ago with a focus on sporting travel, particularly fly fishing and wing-shooting experiences around the world. Over time, we expanded our expertise to include luxury leisure travel through our Elegant Journeys division, allowing us to serve clients seeking everything from remote sporting lodges to five-star cultural and experiential travel.
What sets Frontiers apart is our ability to operate both sides of the travel world under one roof. Our advisors are specialists, not generalists, and our clients benefit from deep destination knowledge, long-standing relationships with outfitters and partners, and a level of service that reflects decades of experience. Storytelling, authenticity, and relationships are at the heart of how we operate and how we market.
