As Oklahoma City continues to gain national attention, how the city tells its story is becoming just as important as the story itself. Lindsay Vidrine, who recently stepped into the role of chief marketing officer for the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, brings years of experience promoting the city through her previous role as senior vice president of destination marketing for Visit OKC. As the Chamber’s first chief marketing officer, she’s focused on elevating how Oklahoma City shows up across audiences — from visitors to businesses to residents. We spoke with Vidrine about her new role, the city’s momentum and what comes next. Q: You previously led destination marketing for Visit OKC. How did that role shape your perspective on Oklahoma City’s story? Q&A: LINDSAY VIDRINE ON SHAPING OKLAHOMA CITY’S STORY
A: We are telling Oklahoma City’s story every day to visitors, meeting planners and event organizers. In that role, I needed to be able to clearly articulate what’s interesting and unique about Oklahoma City, as well as showcasing our event venue, hotel and attraction assets. This role introduced me to dynamic people and partners in every corner of our city who are wonderful
ambassadors for our destination and have shaped my perspective
as our community continues to grow and evolve. Q: Now stepping into the chief marketing officer role, how does your focus expand?
