SeaWorld Welcomes Last Killer Whale Baby

0
San Antonio, TX (April 19, 2017) - Under the watchful eyes of the SeaWorld zoological team, SeaWorld San Antonio welcomed an orca calf on Wednesday afternoon, the last to be born at a SeaWorld park. After an 18-month gestation, the calf is estimated to weigh between 300 - 350 pounds and measure between 6 and 7 feet. Trainers and veterinarians will monitor the pair around the clock to observe signs of bonding and nursing.

SAN ANTONIO, April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — SeaWorld is excited to announce the birth of the newest member of the SeaWorld family of killer whales. Takara, the 25-year-old matriarch of the orca pod, gave birth to the calf at 2:33 p.m. Central Time, April 19, 2017, at SeaWorld San Antonio.  A team of veterinarians and animal care specialists witnessed the historic birth and are continuing to monitor Takara and her new baby 24-hours-a-day to help ensure a successful start.

San Antonio, TX (April 19, 2017) – Under the watchful eyes of the SeaWorld zoological team, SeaWorld San Antonio welcomed an orca calf on Wednesday afternoon, the last to be born at a SeaWorld park.  After an 18-month gestation, the calf is estimated to weigh between 300 – 350 pounds and measure between 6 and 7 feet.  Trainers and veterinarians will monitor the pair around the clock to observe signs of bonding and nursing.

Guests at SeaWorld San Antonio will have the opportunity to visit and observe Takara and her calf in the near future during select times.  Although this will be the last opportunity for SeaWorld guests to see a baby killer whale up close as it grows and matures, SeaWorld will continue to care for the orcas at its parks for decades to come.

“This is an exciting and emotional day for us at SeaWorld and we are all so proud to share this new killer whale calf with the world, after a year and a half of planning, and observing and providing all the special care,” said Chris Bellows, Vice President of Zoological Operations. “Takara is a great mom and immediately began bonding with and caring for her new baby. Everyday she inspires SeaWorld’s guests to learn more about and do more to protect animals in the wild. She is a true ambassador.”

Julie Sigman, an Assistant Curator at SeaWorld San Antonio who has been with Takara through three of her last pregnancies and births, expressed her excitement at watching the calf surface to take its first breath. “Nothing can prepare you for that moment when mom helps the calf get to the surface for its first breath. The moment the calf is born, Takara is 100% focused on the care and well-being of that baby.  She knows exactly what to do. It is amazing,” said Sigman. 

“Takara will continuously swim with her calf as it begins to nurse and learn,” added Sigman. “We take our lead from mom, Takara will let us know when she is ready for us to meet the calf and at that time we should be able to determine the gender.”

Takara, born at SeaWorld San Diego, has had four other calves, which now range in age from 3 to 15 years. Takara was already pregnant as a result of natural breeding when the announcement to end orca breeding was made in March 2016.

“Although this is the last killer whale birth at a SeaWorld park, our work to understand and protect this species will continue for decades to come,” said Dr. Hendrik Nollens, Vice President of Veterinary Services for SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment.  “Takara and her calf are an important part of not only educating the visitors who see them at the parks, but also ongoing research that helps marine biologists understand how to better care for and protect orcas in the wild.  We are very pleased that this birth will be able to continue to add to this body of knowledge for this iconic species.”

The birth of Takara’s calf is also the last chance for researchers to study orca development in ways that cannot be done in the wild, helping to benefit wild whales as well as those in SeaWorld’s care. Information learned from Takara and her calf will add to SeaWorld’s extensive database about killer whales and their calves, contributing to studies of the endangered Southern Resident killer whale population off the coast of Washington, where they are threatened by pollution, overfishing and human development. The pair will provide data and samples to studies focused on killer whale growth and metabolism. One looks at toxin transfer in milk when babies nurse and another will help evaluate body shape changes to understand nutritional conditions for free-ranging killer whales. The calf, her mom, and other whales will also be monitored by a research team from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio to better understand the social impact of calves and their social development within a killer whale pod.

More than 22 million guests a year visit SeaWorld and support its mission to deliver experiences that matter and inspire protection of the wild world. SeaWorld has committed $50 million over the next five years to be the world’s leading marine animal rescue organization, advocating for wild animals and protecting our oceans. This includes a commitment of $10 million in matching funds dedicated to killer whale research and the creation of a multi-million dollar partnership focused on ocean health, the leading concern for all killer whales and marine mammals.

Headquarters office, Bernacchi will report to MNAO president and CEO, as well as Mazda Motor Company’s global CMO, Masahiro Moro.  Bernacchi’s appointment is effective on May 1, 2017.

In this new role, Bernacchi will oversee all aspects of brand communications for Mazda in the U.S.  Specifically, he will be tasked with examining every touch point that affects a customer’s interaction with Mazda, from the earliest discovery phase of new-car shopping, through the research and purchase, to ownership and ultimately through to repurchase, and developing an overarching strategy to deliver clear, precise, consistent messages that support the Mazda Premium brand vision.  His responsibility will be more than conventional marketing, and Russell Wager, currently VP, Marketing, who will report to Bernacchi, will continue to oversee Mazda’s external communications activities.

In addition, Bernacchi will have responsibility for the design, development, and execution of the strategies and processes required to deliver Mazda messaging in the ever-evolving multi-channel world; enhance customer engagement with Mazda; and respond to accelerating changes in technological and digital innovation and rapidly changing consumer behavior.

“The need to hone our company’s focus as a provider of exceptional customer experiences at every touchpoint with our brand, through our communications, with our vehicles and handled by our network of Mazda dealerships, has never been more clear,” said Moro regarding why the addition of a CMO to the MNAO team is critical to the company’s future success in the U.S.  “As customer tastes and expectations change, and Mazda moves itself to a new, more premium, position in the industry, it is critical that Mazda be laser-focused in our approach to how we tell our proud brand story at every touchpoint in the customer’s journey with us.  Dino’s leadership experience in doing exactly that in the past is why he is perfectly suited for this role at Mazda.”

Bernacchi joins MNAO with 23 years of experience in marketing communications, and proven successes in telling compelling brand stories in order to capture customers’ interests, ultimately leading to brand and sales successes.  He has worked on both the agency, supplier and in-house aspects of the communications business, with skills honed at Campbell-Ewald Advertising, Visteon, General Motors and, most recently, as marketing director at Harley-Davidson Motor Company.

Sylvester Stallone And Canelo Alvarez Trade Verbal Jabs In Tecate’s Latest “Born Bold” Campaign

Tecate logo (PRNewsFoto/HEINEKEN USA Inc.)

NEW YORK, April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Tecate, the Mexican beer with bold flavor, announced the latest evolution of its successful multiyear “Born Bold” advertising campaign, featuring the addition of legendary actor, Sylvester Stallone.

Debuting alongside Mexican super fighter Canelo Alvarez, who reprises his role following last year’s “Flashy,” Stallone and Canelo will be placed in multiple scenarios throughout the two 30-second spots entitled “Beehive:BBQ” and “Belt:Tub,” with the screen icon and star fighter humorously challenging each other to be bolder. The two will be featured alongside Tecate’s Black Eagle, who continues his iconic role as the brand’s symbol of masculinity and connection to its bi-cultural Hispanic consumer.

Sylvester Stallone has a lifelong connection to boxing and continues to build a career as a symbol for masculinity, which resonates particularly well with Tecate’s bold, bi-cultural consumer,” said Belen Pamukoff, Brand Director, Tecate. “In these new spots, our mission was to capture the comradery between Stallone as a masculine, legendary actor and Canelo as a real life boxing champion, while further fueling the inherit bold swagger of these superstars.”

The commercials, created by Tecate and Nómades, will be part of a refreshed 37-week campaign, and will debut on national broadcast and online on April 20, with heavy promotion leading into Canelo’s first fight of 2017 with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on May 6th in Las Vegas. The campaign will also include PR, digital content across social channels, and OOH in the form of prize card point-of-sale materials at the retail level.

“Our relationship with Sly is a couple of years old given we’d worked with him for Tecate in Mexico,” said Pablo Batlle, CCO, Nómades. “The challenge here was to find the real voice of this collaboration in the American market. We think that we achieved a new approach that is relevant to the bi-cultural Hispanic consumer and to the Born Bold concept.”

Since the official debut of the “Born Bold” advertising campaign in 2015, Tecate Light has made waves throughout the industry, becoming the fastest growing light beer in the US versus our competitors and introducing the incredibly successful #TecateBeerWall spot late last year – timed to the first and second Presidential debates.
