Secrets of the Sea Marketing Campaign Takes Telus World of Science-Edmonton to New Depths

When Telus World of Science-Edmonton developed the marketing plan for the film Secrets of the Sea, they knew the Science Centre had a limited budget compared to other films and that earned media was extremely important to meet the main goal of generating attendance for the film. One of the strategies was to develop a variety of launch events for the opening day to generate earned media, social media engagement, and ticket sales. To achieve this strategy, the Science Centre invited Jonathan Bird, the director of Secrets of the Sea, to be part of opening day and developed a creative event that they knew would become a “talker,” the Sea-lebrity Sea Plunge. Donalda Pelton and Ursula Pattloch share how they achieved record-breaking ticket sales with their creative marketing approach.

Challenger Learning Center Sees Big Results and Engages the Community with Its Launch of Superpower Dogs

The Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee, Florida, launched Superpower Dogs on March 15, 2019. Recognizing the intensity of the dog-human bond, the marketing team chose a strategy of highlighting these powerful relationships. The launch of the film exceeded all expectations and generated more visitors and revenue than forecast. The most successful part of the campaign was the community engagement portions, as evidenced by the overwhelming feedback shared by visitors. Not only were the impacts felt at the box office, but also in the way in which the film helped to change lives.

National Geographic's Outreach Campaign for Jerusalem

National Geographic's Outreach Campaign for Jerusalem

The Jerusalem campaign from National Geographic Studios was designed to provide top-level support for the film and work in tandem with local theater efforts. One key strategy was to create an outreach campaign to the interfaith community in order to minimize any miscommunications as to the film's message. If done properly, this would eliminate negativity and boost the success of the film as these groups become advocates of the film.
