Gadsden County TDC Announces Soft Launch of New VisitGadsdenCounty.com Website and Branding

QUINCY, FL — [April 22, 2025] — The Gadsden County Tourist Development Council (GCTDC) is proud to announce the soft launch of its newly reimagined destination website, VisitGadsdenCounty.com, unveiling an updated brand identity and digital experience designed to better reflect the culture, beauty, and community spirit of Gadsden County.

Built to tell a richer, more interactive story, the new platform highlights Gadsden County’s small-town charm, outdoor escapes, vibrant art scenes, and growing lineup of festivals and family-friendly events. Rooted in the tagline “Small County. Big Heart.”, the refreshed brand direction brings together visual storytelling, modern accessibility, and an emphasis on showcasing local experiences through the voices of residents and visitors alike.

“Our goal was to create more than a website—we wanted a living platform that reflects the people, pace, and pulse of Gadsden County,” said Leslie Steele, spokesperson for the GCTDC. “Whether you’re hiking at Torreya State Park, snapping a sunset photo on the Apalachicola River, or exploring galleries in historic Quincy, the new site brings those experiences forward in a bold, modern way.”

The launch introduces:

• New Branding Elements: A vibrant color palette and logo style that reflect Gadsden’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.

• Updated Navigation and Mobile Optimization: Easy access to things to do, places to stay, local events, and hidden gems.

• Cultural and Eco-Tourism Spotlights: Emphasis on heritage locations, Black history sites, and outdoor adventures across the county’s six cities.

• Visitor Engagement Initiatives: Interactive features like the Gadsden Through Your Lens photo contest offer residents and visitors a chance to share their favorite moments—and win cash prizes.

The Gadsden Through Your Lens contest is just one example of how the GCTDC is creating more social, rewarding ways for the community to participate. Participants are invited to submit their original photos capturing the spirit of Gadsden County. Winners will receive cash prizes and have their photos featured across TDC’s digital platforms and future promotional materials.

The soft launch phase will allow for final refinements based on public feedback ahead of the full rollout this summer, which will include updated visitor guides, promotional campaigns, and expanded storytelling through video and social content.

“Gadsden County has always been a place of character, creativity, and community,” Steele added. “This is our invitation for the world to see it—and feel it—for themselves.”
