How We Helped Lake Tobias Capture Hearts with Story-Driven Video Marketing

Lake Tobias Wildlife Park wanted to modernize its marketing and stand out from traditional attraction ads. They needed a campaign that would not only showcase the park’s unique experiences but also connect with visitors on an emotional level—something that would make people feel the value of shared moments. Our solution was a cinematic 60-second commercial anchored by a heartfelt story: a grandmother reuniting with her grandkids for one unforgettable day at the park. From there, we produced multiple cutdowns and social teasers to maximize reach across every platform.

The video now runs on multiple platforms, from Penn Cinema to social media, bringing the park’s story to thousands of new visitors.
