The Virginia-based, global trade group for amusement park operators is on the hunt for a PR firm with an RFP open through Aug. 3.
The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions represents the interests of 4,000 individual members from entities like zoos, theme and amusement parks, museums and aquariums.
The Alexandria-based group, led by new CEO Chip Cleary, is looking for media relations support with experience in crisis communications and the travel/tourism PR sector as it proactively engages consumers through the media and reacts to situations ranging from financial, legislative and operational issues. The IAAPA wants two on-site staffers to assist its press team and one team member versed in crisis support.
Cleary, a waterpark industry executive, took the reins of the organization in April.
Colleen Mangone, manager of media relations, is taking pitches with in-person meetings slated for mid-August in Virginia for potential key account personnel. Work is expected to begin in early December.
