Aventur Marketing is a Vancouver-based marketing and tourism PR agency focused on driving amazing results for premium travel and outdoor tourism businesses, destinations and gear brands. Powerful storytelling that engages customers and elevates brands is what we do at Aventur.
With a background spanning well over a decade working as an adventure travel journalist, outdoor photographer, and PR consultant, Darryl brings a powerful skill set to the table for adventure tourism businesses seeking exceptional growth. As a recognized expert in adventure travel, he has worked with tour operators and DMOs in more than a dozen countries, produced hundreds of media articles, won awards from Destination Canada and The Travel Media Association of Canada, and authored an adventure travel column for The Globe & Mail. His media clients have included Canadian Geographic Travel, Men’s Journal, Ogilvy & Mather, Destination BC, and Hong Kong Airlines.
Storytelling is in his DNA, and he excels at getting to the essence of a tourism experience, finding what separates an outfitter or destination from the myriad of competitors out there, and translating that into a strategic marketing plan for growth. Using the Duct Tape ‘Strategy-Before-Tactics’ methodology, his team at Aventur delivers cutting edge digital marketing services to premium tourism providers.
When he’s not busy working he can be found pursuing his passions: adventure travel, scuba diving, mountain biking, backcountry skiing, rock climbing and sea kayaking, often lugging along large amounts of camera gear ‘just in case.’ Darryl lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, with his wife Claudia, and young children Vincent and Valerie, who share his love for adventure.

John Jantsch literally wrote the book on small business marketing more than 20 years ago. Using these powerful principles he developed an agency-certification program that now comprises over 100 marketing agencies and consultants around the world. Aventur Marketing is a fully-certified Duct Tape Marketing agency, having undergone rigorous training, and ongoing support to stay abreast of the latest developments in digital marketing.
The big ideas here are that marketing is a system that can be put in place to deliver expected results and strategy always comes before tactics. It sounds logical, yet most marketing agencies and tourism businesses go straight to the latest digital tactics (aka shiny object syndrome), without any semblance of system or strategy, and do not achieve their marketing goals.
