ATLANTA, Dec. 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Exhibitions, Inc. ("Premier Exhibitions") (Nasdaq:PRXI), a leading presenter of museum quality touring exhibitions, is pleased to announce it has partnered with New York based Crossmedia to re-envision and re-launch the company's exhibition marketing strategy.
"Throughout the agency search process, Crossmedia consistently stood out amongst the field of eight agencies we were considering," said Marcy Davis, senior vice president of marketing for Premier Exhibitions. "Their plethora of lifestyle, consumer brand clients and unique approach to marketing through consumer engagement made me confident that Cross was a perfect fit for Premier."
Premier Exhibitions selected Crossmedia to transform the marketing for its brands, based on their unique approach to developing highly creative and collaborative campaigns. The partnership, effective immediately, plans to launch new creative and messaging in markets where the company has self-run venues, including Atlanta, Buena Park, Orlando and Las Vegas, starting early 2014.
"Many of the exhibitions have been touring for a number of years and in some instances, have been in their respective markets for five plus years," said Elizabeth Natwick, the new vice president of marketing that recently joined Premier Exhibitions. "While the concept of the exhibit and the content is evergreen and transcends generations, the way we interact with the public in terms of messaging and marketing should be evaluated and updated, and we are looking forward to doing just that with Crossmedia." Natwick has 20+ years of experience in entertainment marketing, and along with Davis, has been tasked with leading the transition and revitalization in marketing for Premier Exhibitions.
