30 South 15th Street Suite 1001 Philadelphia, PA 19102If you’ve ever interacted with a destination organization like a tourism board or visitors bureau, you know how helpful they can be to residents, visitors and local businesses. But when those helpful orgs need help themselves, where do they turn? Enter Tempest.
Through specialized marketing and its destination management CRM software, iDSS, Tempest enhances the communities of travel havens across the United States and Canada. Tempest employees not only reap the benefits of a collaborative team, but the satisfaction of elevating more than 200 destination organizations across the U.S.
The Philly-based destination whizzes enjoy a hybrid work schedule. Three days a week, the team buckles down in their central hub of an office at 15th and Market. Perks of the job include PTO, a healthy work-life balance and travel opportunities. Employees are also able to travel to the destinations whose economic development Tempest works to strengthen each day. Tempest employees have enjoyed trips to places like Winnipeg, Manitoba; Charlottesville, Virginia; St. Augustine, Florida and Mesa, Arizona.
Tempest has 11 years of experience in the travel industry. Employees are connected to an established company with a laid-back culture and the motivated energy of a start-up.
Tempest teammates are assigned to one of three squads: web development, CRM or integrated marketing services. Intra-squad communication happens daily either in the office or via Slack. After work, the team gets to engage in fun events, such as mini-golf excursions or cheering for the home team at Flyers and Phillies games. Plus, Tempest throws its annual Tourism Academy, a national gathering of Tempest employees and travel pros for an educational week-long session full of brainstorming and innovation.
