47: When Your Destination Is A Hollywood Production with Andi Thoreson

Andi Thoreson, Marketing Director at Fargo, North Dakota joins the Destination Marketing Podcast to talk about the opportunities and challenges of having a destination that is well-known for being the setting for the 1996 film Fargo. Topics include the true experience of Fargo, the Silicone Prairie, the wood chipper, having a dedicated visitor experience manager and understanding how to capitalize on the misconceptions from the film and using them as a benefit to help the destination and the goals of the CVB.

“People want experiences, they want to really dive into a community and what separates it. I mean at this point I don’t know if there’s a city in the world that doesn’t have breweries and murals so it’s what can you do and what can you create that’s unique to your destination.” – Andi Thoreson on really understanding what makes your destination unique.
