The Zoological Society of the Palm
Beaches exists to inspire people to
act on behalf of wildlife and the
natural world.
Challenge:
How to increase awareness of and attract visitors
to the zoo to engage with the wonder of wildlife
and leave visitors committed to doing their part
to conserve animal habitat and our natural
resources.
Let’s Break this into Three

• Create fun and informative ways to
engage with wildlife
• Deliver the conservation message
Where Do we Start?
Research!
• Understand the target market
• Identify Competition

opportunities

aquariums museums,
attractions

community, board) “Brain Trust”

Seasonal Residents Vacationers
Target Market : Partners
Business Press Thought leaders
What will motivate them to visit or work with the zoo?
What’s the best way to deliver our conservation message?
Competition
Where can our target market go instead the zoo?
Can we bring some of that to the zoo?
Can we Partner with our competition?
What do other zoos, aquariums do to raise awareness and
attract visitors?
How do they deliver the conservation message?
Who else can we look at to benchmark?
Benchmarking
• People are in different places when it
comes to conservation
• Lots of people want to do right by the
planet but don’t know where to start
What’s the best way to deliver our
conservation message?
