Case Study: Ocean Park in Hong Kong


Ocean Park is a famous theme park in Hong Kong. Before, many people predicted that the open of Disneyland would be a threat to Ocean Park. However, the attendance has an increase even through Disneyland opened. One of the reasons is Ocean Park doing very well on its public relations. I am going to analyze how good of its press release.

Here are the advantages of it:
- Including 5Ws and H. Clear and concise content act as very important on press release
- Clear target audience (TA). In the headline, “Say thank you as park reports 2005/2006 attendance record of 4.38 million, therefore, TA are their customers.
- Strategically used of emotional appeal. Linkage of Ocean Park as part of Hong Kong. For instance, “Ocean Park is a major Hong Kong icon, popular with locals and tourists alike.”
- Call for action. “We will continue to serve Hong Kong faithfully and provide to all guests the ultimate in enrichment experiences,” to encourage the visiting.
