What Makes Hello! Different from other Destination Management Companies?
Hello! is a Destination Management Company, and we are so much more. What makes Hello! Destination Management unique is our agency approach to moving your experience forward through communication, innovation and collaboration. As an extension of your team, we passionately pursue your goals and objectives as our goals and objectives. We are constantly at work making ourselves the best team member we can be in every aspect of our business. Most multi-location DMCs are franchises, independent companies that share a brand name but have little else in common. Hello! is a single business, family-owned, and integrated throughout all seven of our offices. The secret is connectivity! As a family owned business with integrated leadership, we harness the power of our 35 full time Account Executives and over 38 full time Account Managers who serve the incentive, corporate direct and hotel markets. This ability to share our collective experiences and improve our business practices is exponentially greater that of any of our competitors and gives you the refined expertise your team deserves.
One other distinguishing factor is that Themed Events are a specific area of strength for Hello! Destination Management. We recognize that the Themed Event discipline is so diverse and ever changing it’s impossible to be cutting edge without focus. Headed by Mark Wells, Sr. Vice President of Creative Services, we have a team of twenty-one Creative Services professionals whose sole responsibility is the design and production of themed events. 
Employing this expertise is unusual for a DMC. For most DMCs, the Account Executive is responsible for being the "expert" for all hospitality services available in their market: transportation, dining, venues, activities, tours, etcetera, and themed events. The result is that the Account Executive depends entirely on a theme prop supplier for creativity. Meaning, they send the event specifications to a supplier, who creates the proposal focusing on the profitability of their décor inventory, not the vision of the client. Then the DMC adds a mark-up and incorporates it into their proposal.
Since we have taken the responsibility of integrating the Creative Services skills into our internal team structure, we provide unique and individualized themes and concepts for our clients and hotel partner. Our Creative Services team is constantly scouring our marketplace and others, via special event tradeshows and industry associations usually reserved for production and event companies, so we can bring our customers cutting edge ideas. We listen to our customers and create their vision with unmatched expertise, rather than selling them "our" theme party. The results are phenomenal, as you can see in this video.
As we produce each event, our product and process is evolving to be better than the one before. Hello! is carving out a new definition for what a DMC can do and we plan to continue to expand that definition.
These efforts include on property and off property events, transportation, tours and the technology we use to enhance our ability to serve you in each of these business areas. We truly believe your next event will be your best event and if you worked with us in the past, what you experience next time will be even better than before. We are team players looking to be the best part of your team!
