Sea Island Resorts, a luxury resort on the Georgia coast and member of the Preferred Hotel Group, selects TIG Global as its exclusive Internet marketing provider. In accordance with the partnership, TIG Global recently designed and launched a new website for Sea Island Resorts and created an accompanying online marketing plan to target new visitors and drive qualified traffic, direct to the new website.
