MIAMI, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Republica, one of America’s leading and fastest-growing independent marketing and communications agencies, announced today that it has been selected as the global strategic agency for Azamara Club Cruises, a subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. As part of the assignment, Republica will lead myriad initiatives encompassing strategy, creative, media, digital, and social for the project launching Azamara’s new ship, the Azamara Pursuit.
Republica will work in partnership with Azamara and existing agencies to develop a unified, multifaceted marketing and communications strategy to showcase not only its brand, but also its unparalleled Destination Immersion® offering, which allows travelers to deeply experience the cultures of Azamara’s awe-inspiring destinations.
During an extensive agency review, Republica developed a campaign focusing on global luxury travelers, with the goal of driving awareness as well as increasing bookings of Azamara packages. The soon-to-be-launched campaign highlights Azamara’s commitment to offering longer stays at smaller ports where guests can experience more onshore — at locations where only smaller ships can reach.
“Republica’s track record as a long-term, trusted partner to numerous respected global brands – coupled with their high-caliber team – makes them an ideal partner for Azamara as we embark on this journey aimed at creating meaningful connections with international, experience-driven audiences,” commented Larry Pimentel, president and CEO of Azamara Club Cruises. “Republica has a deep-rooted understanding of the global, culturally-driven consumer. We are thrilled to have them join the Azamara team and excited to partner with them,” Mr. Pimentel added.
Azamara Club Cruises joins Republica’s growing roster of blue-chip clients, including an array of Fortune 500 companies the agency services in both the United States and internationally.

Plasencia, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Republica. “Partnering with Azamara, we have developed a solid, strategically-relevant campaign that we are confident will establish trust, create loyalty, and ultimately bring new customers to Azamara for years to come,” added Mr. Plasencia.
