Mark Preston is a Senior Sales Director of Tourism at Adara, where he manages the company's destination and constituent partnerships across the Northeast US and Caribbean. In this role, Mark leverages his nearly 20 years of experience in business development and digital marketing, skills he honed during his 13-year career stint at Tripadvisor Media Group supporting some of the largest destination marketing organizations, attractions, airlines, and OTAs (online travel agencies) throughout the US and internationally.
As the world's leading travel and entertainment data consortium, Adara leverages real-time data signals from its over 300+ data partners such as Marriott Hotels, American Airlines, United Airlines, Kayak and more to provide tourism and constituent partners a better way to market and measure attribution.

"What we do with the data is enable you to activate it via media campaigns and measure it for revenue reports — all in a privacy-compliant way that enables you to operate with confidence," said Mark.
All of Adara's deliverable marketing reports come complete with a summary of hotel & flight searches/bookings generated post-exposure to your campaign, ensuring ROI goals are met. With over 1.8 billing-rich profiles within Adara's data consortium, they have the data signals at scale to both help market and measure the effectiveness of your advertising.
