Amnéville Zoo (France)

We have been helping the Amnéville Zoo with its communication in Germany and France since the start of 2022 and continually manage its German-language press relations in both countries. Using year-round topic planning, we have been able to reach numerous publications in the German and Luxembourgish media, including reports in print media such as “Luxemburger Wort”, “Luxemburger Tageblatt”, “Saarbrücker Zeitung”, “Saarländischer Wochenspiegel”, and “Rheinpfalz”, TV reports, radio reports on Saarländischer Rundfunk, and online articles on bild.de and rtl.lu. There were also prize drawings in cooperation with Saarländischer Rundfunk, CityRadio Saarland, Saarländischer Wochenspiegel, and Mittelbadische Presse in Offenburg, Germany.
