Defining our Brand

We are in the final stretch of an exciting process to rebrand the Greater Fort Lauderdale destination. This rebranding effort is a rare and exhilarating opportunity for the Visit Lauderdale sales and marketing teams to capture the essence of our world-class destination and community. The new brand is the result of extensive research, an abundance of survey responses and of course the vital feedback of our local partners.
