Nick Van Sicklen, who ran digital at Time Inc., Matt Carroll, who ran sales for various brands including, Travel + Leisure and Modern Luxury and Gabrielle Blitz Rosen, who ran social media, strategy and partnerships for Beautiful Destinations and Travel + Leisure Magazine, have formed a team based on their extensive experience in the luxury travel and digital space.

"It was a natural and exciting fit," says Blitz Rosen of creating the Full-Time Media brand and partnership. "Full-Time Travel fills a niche that doesn't currently exist in the space. Conversation and engagement is more important than ever before, it's not only about wanderlust and passive scrolling. Our audience is screen agnostic, so we ensure that the platform they're consuming FTT on makes sense. We go where they are."

"We have two premium and global brands signed up for launch and many other partners committed throughout the year," says Van Sicklen. "We're excited about creating partnerships with brands that extend beyond the banner."

Full-Time Travel launched on February 1st with various partners: the best-known name in cruising, Princess Cruises, and the largest of the Forbes Four Star hotels, The Venetian and The Palazzo Las Vegas.

Princess is excited to form a partnership with Full-Time Travel. "Princess is always looking for ways to find more vacationers and sharing with them how cruise lets them experience more, give them more time to enjoy their vacation, connect with nature and with others.  Social media provides a great place for inspiration and broad reach."  

Carroll adds, "We go beyond standard advertising solutions?our suite of products also includes content studio, social strategy and data trends for some of the biggest travel and lifestyle brands and businesses."
