Digital Visitor promotes "The Science of Survival" online
Posted by Caroline | 07.05.08
Bristol based online video marketing company Digital Visitor has been commissioned by ‘The Science of…’ to cover the launch of a new interactive exhibition, ‘The Science of Survival’, which recently opened at the Science Museum, London.
Digital Visitor has been asked to produce a series of three videos, each with a specific aim. The objective was not only to help promote the exhibition to the general public while on show at the Science Museum, but also to assist ‘The Science of …’ team when promoting the new exhibition to potential venues across the world.
The three videos being produced by Digital Visitor are:
· a 60-second promotional video showing families and kids having fun in the exhibition – it will be used by the Science Museum to attract visitors;
· a 90-second video that will be used by ‘The Science of…’ to promote the exhibition to other host venues all over the world;
· a four-minute ‘walk through’ with a member of ‘The Science of…’ team explaining what the exhibition is about and explaining individual exhibits.
Digital Visitor co-director Anthony Rawlins said: “We are delighted that an institution as prestigious as ‘The Science of…’ has asked us to undertake a project of this kind.
“It’s very exciting and underlines how cost-effective video and online distribution is proving increasingly attractive to operators in the leisure and tourism market, including the bigger attractions and destinations such as The Science Museum and the National Trust, another of our recently acquired clients.”
‘The Science of…’ is a partnership between the world-renowned Science Museum and intellectual property management experts Fleming Media. ‘The Science of…’ brand was created to communicate and transfer a passion and knowledge of science through engaging and entertaining exhibitions and ‘The Science of Survival’ is the third project to be launched.
Digital Visitor, founded by Anthony and his co-director Simon Jones, also counts the ss Great Britain in Bristol, the Royal Highland Centre, the Bath & West Showground and the Tourism Skills Network among its clients.
