Statue Cruises, which runs ferry service to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island for the National Park Service, is on the hunt for PR help to launch a hybrid vessel.
The hydrogen-powered ferry was a key component of SC winning the contract in 2007 from the incumbent Circle Line Downtown. It is under construction in Connecticut with an eye on launching in April 2011.
SC, owned by San Francisco-based Hornblower Cruises and Events, has issued an RFP for agency pitches through Jan. 12, 2011. It is looking for a firm to help leverage earned media for the vessel’s launch, as well as create promotions, “hype and attention” for the cruises.
"We have two agencies who worked for us now," said Tegan Firth, manager of corporate PR for Hornblower. "We're looking for short term support of the launch of our new vessel."
Quinn & Company works with Circle Line.
