?Ski Vermont?s Check In to Win campaign is an ambitious statewide program that encourages exploration and promotes cross-brand businesses through a location-based campaign, then executes through multiple social media platforms. It smartly leverages social tools; Facebook and Twitter and weekly eblasts to Vermont?s loyal base of skiers and snowboarders; and showcases Vermont ski resorts and partner businesses all working together toward a common goal,? Rich Beattie, executive editor of Travel + Leisure Magazine and a judge for the SMART awards said.
