Educational Presentation
Just in time for summer,
SFIMA brings you a look at Orlando’s coolest new attraction:
SeaWorld’s® Antarctica: Empire of the PenguinTM.
The penguin exhibit has been expanded to include a futuristic,
immersive ride to the bottom of the world, taking visitors gliding
through an icy land and viewing life through the eyes of a
penguin – all while being surrounded by hundreds of live penguins
in an interactive environment.
And so what better way to launch this experience than with interactive marketing?
From online sweepstakes to email updates, from social media to
mobile apps and more, digital is playing a key role in getting people to
“follow the freeze.”
