Lakeview Productions Inc. is a privately held corporation, formed in 1989 by it’s founders, Claudio & Terrie DeMarchi. The company initially focused on creating and executing consumer golf and travel shows and now operates The London Golf Show
(12th year) , The Hamilton Golf Show (1st year) and the All About Pets Show in Toronto (13th year) which attracts over 30,000 visitors each spring and is not only Canada’s largest Pet Show but the 3rd largest such show in North America.

In 1999, Lakeview was engaged by The State of Mississippi to represent the State’s Golf Marketing interests in Canada. This appointment led to the development of Lakeview’s destination marketing division. Lakeview is proud of the success we have enjoyed with The State of Mississippi and it is important to note that we have been continuously engaged by Mississippi from 1999 to present. The State of Mississippi has gone from having no top of mind presence in Canada as a travel destination to a first choice consideration for many Canadians. According to the Mississippi State Commission, golf sales during FY 2005 at public golf courses increased 48% over FY 2004.
In response to the devastating events of August 2005, Lakeview is working with The State of Mississippi on an enhanced marketing-program to assist in the crucial recovery of the tourism industry for not only the Gulf Coast, but the entire State.

In 2001, Lakeview contracted with the Town of Santee, SC to handle their golf and tourism marketing efforts both domestically in The USA and in Canada. The town entrusted to Lakeview approximately 75% of their entire annual marketing budget. The results to date have been overwhelming as the Accommodation and Hospitality taxes collected in Santee have increased approximately 50% each since 2001. Lakeview has been privileged to have its contract renewed by the Town of Santee continuously since 2001, as their marketing agency of record. Lakeview is also the only agency to ever have been awarded a multi year contract to represent the Town.

Since 2001, destination marketing has become the primary business and source of revenue for Lakeview. Lakeview has created a wide reaching network of partnerships and contacts with key media and travel industry colleagues. These relationships create tremendous value for our clients. In May of 2005, Mr. Timothy Orlando joined Lakeview as our Director of Client Services. Mr. Orlando brings with him a wealth of experience, having spent over 20 years in key management positions in the tourism and hospitality sector. Mr. Orlando’s experience and contacts in the airline and travel community are invaluable to Lakeview and our clients. Lakeview has also formed a network of associated professionals of the highest quality to ensure we offer our growing list of clients the very best in: Sales & Service, Marketing & Creative Services, Advertising – planning, purchase and design, Web design and maintenance, Public & Media Relations, Resource Centre and co-lateral fulfillment.

Lakeview Productions is also the co-publisher of an annual publication - The Canadian PGA Travel Guide.
