Merlin Entertainments AND VisitEngland to launch joint advertising campaign

To coincide with English Tourism Week the UK and Europe’s biggest visitor attraction operator, Merlin Entertainments (‘Merlin’) has linked with national tourist board, VisitEngland, to launch their first ever joint marketing campaign.  The £600,000 campaign kicks off 12 March and will run on air for three weeks with a schedule which will include 20 second peak time TV ads; e-shots; and online advertising to target social networking and influential blog sites; supported by national and local PR activity all aimed at encouraging consumers to visit www.visitengland.com/funoffer.

The VisitEngland and Merlin Entertainments activity will highlight a 25% discount on the Standard Merlin Annual Pass, a promotion developed especially for the campaign.  The Merlin Annual Pass gives 12 months access to all Merlin’s 25 iconic English attractions (which will increase to 26 with the opening of an observation tower in Weymouth in time for the Olympic yachting crowds to enjoy); as well as other offers in the 4 hotels Merlin has across 3 of their Resort Theme Parks – Alton Towers; Chessington World of Adventures and, from next week, LEGOLAND Windsor.  Merlin’s attractions also include the EDF Energy London Eye; SEA LIFE, Warwick Castle, Madame Tussauds, Thorpe Park, Dungeons, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, and the Blackpool Tower.
