As thriving, and in-demand executive leaders, the Churchstreeter and Crosse approach is grounded in catering to our exclusive family of clients. The Executive leaders of Churchstreeter and Crosse envisioned a new way of consulting. They decided that percentage based contracts were great for C&C, but not great for our family of clients. Our goal has always been to create partnerships that withstand the test of time. We transitioned to a bold new style of consulting in order to compete in a space where there was a void. Our annual client engagements are exclusive, and we dont compete within the same space, when we have an exclusive agreement. Our goal has never been to be the biggest, our goal is simply to be the best. With a waiting list of engagements, we know that we have created an amazing value proposition. Our engagement assessment is comprehensive. You will feel the difference immediately. The Churchstreeter and Crosse comprehensive proposal process includes a project plan with timeline, milestones, cost/benefit analysis, and a clear financial agreement based on your goals. We also offer a suite of quality products that will help you get there, quickly and smoothly. Thats how we ensure your success. Our Mission: To deliver the best to our exclusive family of clients and retain the most specialized talent.

DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT Understanding what exists in your destination is important. Knowledge of your cannabis and hemp-related assets directly informs the strategy and program architecture. I engage and educate stakeholders, assess the destination, and develop a bespoke cannabis travel strategy and program that fosters long term success. The strategy may or may not include B2C product development i.e. trail, passport, newsletter. DESTINATION MARKETING The data shows that the cannabis-motivated active leisure travel audience is a high value audience that stays longer and spends more while in a destination. Through a dedicated cannabis travel program, I work with stakeholders to facilitate a steady flow of cannabis and hemp-related content that elevates the cannabis experience story in a sophisticated and brand aligned way. I advise DMOs on B2B and B2C content and marketing strategies. HOTEL SOLUTIONS Hotels are the heart of the travel ecosystem of a destination. Hotels greatly influence the overall experience for visitors. With a focus on guest experience, room nights, and turn-key incremental revenue opportunities, I help hotels understand, prepare for, and serve the cannabis and hemp CBD-interested hotel guest. Solutions include hospitality education, frontline staff support, and revenue generating opportunities in lobby, spa, and in-room.
