Marketing fit for a Queen

Cunard is getting ready to launch its newest Queen Elizabeth oceanliner, with a major marketing campaign and a naming ceremony featuring the real Queen Elizabeth. This is an exciting new cruise ship and its maiden voyage sold out in only 30 minutes.

Marketing support includes Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, public relations promotions of all sorts and much more, leading up to next week's official naming and launch of the new QE ship.

Cunard's parent, Carnival, has seen profit increase as it continues its marketing strategy of differentiating its cruise brands for specific target markets. The new Queen Elizabeth will only reinforce the Cunard brand's upmarket image and British roots. Marketing fit for a Queen!
