Kristy began her journey at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, where she gained extensive experience in marketing, operations, and event management. Her career includes roles at ZooTampa, where she was instrumental in the rebranding from Lowry Park Zoo to its current identity. In 2020, she co-founded RumbleBuzz, a marketing agency that caters specifically to attractions and hospitality industries, ensuring that their marketing strategies align seamlessly with their operational goals. In this interview, Kristy talks about a seat at the table, rebranding, and marketing & ops supporting each other.   A Seat at the Table   "Everyone had a seat at the table, and what came out of that was really learning how to build a sub-brand."   Kristy emphasizes the importance of collaboration across departments in any successful marketing strategy. Drawing from her experiences at SeaWorld, she shares how cross-departmental teams were crucial in coordinating large events and initiatives. This approach ensured that all voices were heard and that every department, from operations to food service, contributed to a cohesive and immersive guest experience. Kristy believes that giving everyone a seat at the table not only improves communication but also leads to more innovative and effective marketing strategies.   Rebranding   "Rebranding is not just a logo change; it's about establishing yourself as a global brand."*   Kristy recounts the comprehensive rebranding of ZooTampa, explaining that the change was much more than just a new name or logo. The goal was to position the zoo as a globally recognized brand, which involved not only changing the name but also telling a deeper story about the zoo's commitment to animal care and conservation. Kristy highlights how PR, social media, and even a partnership with National Geographic's "Secrets of the Zoo" played pivotal roles in this transformation. The rebranding was a strategic move that helped Zoo Tampa reach a broader audience and establish a stronger presence in the global market.   Marketing & Ops Supporting Each Other   "When everybody had a seat at the table, the experience from the ad to the actual visit was consistent." Kristy discusses the critical relationship between marketing and operations, sharing examples of when the two worked seamlessly together, as well as instances where they didn't. She illustrates how successful campaigns, like the one for Busch Gardens' "Howl-O-Scream," were the result of close collaboration between marketing and operations. This ensured that the guest experience aligned perfectly with what was promised in the marketing materials. Kristy stresses that for a brand to truly succeed, marketing and operations must not only support each other but also work together from the very beginning to create a consistent and memorable guest experience.

This week, national champion hammered dulcimer Jedi and viral internet phenomenon Ted Yoder recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with this unique musical hammer wielding genius. “Ted Yoder is a world-renowned musician, known for his groundbreaking and innovative approach to the hammered dulcimer. In 2016, Ted gained widespread attention when his hammered dulcimer cover of Tears for Fears' ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World' became a viral sensation on Facebook, amassing over 100 million views. He won the title of National Hammered Dulcimer Champion, performed on NPR radio, opened for Jake Shimabukuro, performed at Busch Gardens, and the historic WGN radio in Chicago.  Ted's original compositions blend rock 'n roll sensibilities and unmistakable innovation, creating deeply moving and joyous music that captivates audiences. His live performances are unforgettable, leaving audiences asking for encores and prompting presenters to "BRING HIM BACK!” Ted Yoder has redefined what's possible with the hammered dulcimer!” - https://tedyoder.com/about In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers an archival recording of Ozark original hammered dulcimer master Joe Jewell playing the traditional tune “Music Box Waltz,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins profiles notable Ozark woodcarver Junior Cobb.

Two news headlines... which one is from our great state of Florida?! Winners for this week's 'Find The Florida Man' will be getting tickets to Busch Gardens to experience the all new Phoenix Rising Coaster!

Sarah Hester Ross! Comedian! Musician! Comedy Musician! Musical Comedian! Friend! Delight! More! Sarah's debut show at the Edinburgh Fringe is called “Sarah Hester Ross Is What?” Venue: Just The Tonic - Nucleus - Atomic Address: 140 Pleasance, Edinburgh EHB 9RR Time: All shows at 2:30pm / 14:30Show Dates: Aug 2-4, 7, 9-11, 14, 16-18  See her in Scotland if you can this August! (2024!) And her special, available worldwide (or even in space probably) is called "Don't Mess With A Redhead." ABOUT "DON'T MESS WITH A REDHEAD": Sarah invites you into the life of a TikTok-famous woman who doesn't want babies and leads the “stop giving men microphones” movement. Don't Mess With A Redhead, her hilarious debut special, serves as an introduction to a multi-talented comedian and musician best known for her 2.4 million social media followers and lovers of Florida Man Friday, who will be the first to tell you she aims to be the “next Bette Midler”.  Hester Ross is aware that musical comedy is not everyone's cup of tea, but she effectively utilizes music to help audiences to stomach some very serious topics. “A spoonful of music helps the discussion of women's rights (or lack thereof) go down. The music is niche but the topics aren't and I feel that's what makes it special”, says Sarah. Originally from Tampa, Florida but currently Las Vegas-based, Sarah has been performing professionally since age 11, when she got her start as a member of a show at Busch Gardens. Later, while performing at a piano bar in Orlando where people request top 40 songs and she would play them on the spot, a colleague told her “you're funny, you should go learn the gig properly somewhere else, your talents won't be used here”. So she did, packing her possessions into her car and moving to Vegas where she started working the piano bar circuit. The pandemic forced Sarah offstage and online, where her musical comedy hit on a larger scale, quickly building a sizable online following. This led to a post-pandemic three-month Vegas residency where she developed the hour, which she honed further by taking it on the road. The result is Don't Mess With A Redhead. Sarah admits “...it blew my mind that people would buy tickets to see me. Just me. It changed my whole perspective of what I wanted to do with my career.” While her mind may have been blown by the well-deserved audience attention, we believe audience minds will be similarly blown by Don't Mess With A Redhead. ABOUT SARAH HESTER ROSS: Sarah Hester Ross is a musical comedian from Las Vegas. Hester Ross is a one-of-a-kind entertainer, social media star, winner of the “Best Of Las Vegas” comedian and one-women show. She has been featured on America's Got Talent and The Doctor Demento Show and her music has earned more than 15 million worldwide streams, and counting. Sarah presents a formidable combination of musical and theatrical talents that has earned her an auspicious entry into the comedy performing world, as well as 2.4M followers on TikTok and over 260K on Instagram. Her good-natured, comedic exuberance, both on and off stage, has earned her the moniker of “The Hilarious Redhead!“  We have a delightful chat. You can have a delightful listen!
