Zeno Group Wins Aruba Tourism Authority in Competitive Review
NEW YORK, March 18, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Aruba Tourism Authority, a Dutch Caribbean island with one of the highest repeat visitor’s rate of all Caribbean islands, known for its dry, sunny weather and constant trade winds that sits outside of the hurricane belt has named Zeno Group agency of record for the North American market following a review managed by agency search consultancy, AAR Partners led by Lisa Colantuono, President.
The review began late summer 2018 and was narrowed from an extensive field of contenders to a final group of four agencies.
"Today’s consumers are looking for consistently compelling and relevant content about authentic destination experience to make their search for travel guidance easier and less risky," said Ronella Tjin Asjoe-Croes, CEO, Aruba Tourism Authority. "We were looking for a fully integrated 'tradigital' public relations agency to elevate engaging experiences to drive consistent high-value visitor arrivals on 'One Happy Island.'"
"We connected with the Zeno team, who not only brought us strategic and original ideas on how to tell our story through traditional and digital channels, but also the process and operational discipline to bring those ideas to life."
Zeno is tasked with creating and communicating the definition for the destination, as well as positioning and re-positioning in order to continue driving preference for visiting and enhanced spending opportunities.
"Aruba is a future-forward brand, acutely aware that consumers value having experiences that last a lifetime," said Tracey Thiele, EVP, Director Content and Brand Strategy. "We are excited to bring our analytical, strategic, creative and PR capabilities together to communicate the Aruba brand in a highly engaging way that consumers will (continue to) embrace."
