Legoland on why traditional marketing is not dead

LEGOLAND is known for its active PR during all periods. Just recently it launched a Star Wars-themed exhibition which showcased more than 2,000 well-known LEGO Star Wars models and iconic scenes from six Star Wars films. It also launched a very successful special Halloween celebration for children last year despite no paid advertisements being utilised. Marketing initiatives were handled through “selected communication channels” such as newsletters, EDMs, park communications and PR initiatives held before school holidays in Malaysia and Singapore.
