Shark Tales @ the Saint Louis Zoo

Tue, 28 Jun 2011 15:45:26 CST

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, we launched our newest ad campaign for the Saint Louis Zoo, Shark Tales. Promoting the addition of sharks to the already popular “Stingrays at Caribbean Cove” exhibit at the Zoo, this latest creative effort features :10 and :30 second TV, billboard, transit, digital, social and Facebook advertising.

We’ve produced another “soon to be” Saint Louis Zoo classic. The recently debuted commercial features a sea-faring grandfather spinning shark tales for his grandchildren, while exciting shark footage is intercut throughout his story. The results should take your breath away. Click here to see for yourself.

All of us at Ad Savants are excited about this new work and can’t wait to hear about the long lines at Caribbean Cove this summer. Hope to see you there.

In the meantime, sink your teeth into our portfolio section. It’s quite tasty.
