When I was invited to sit down with team members from our new agency-of-record, Williams Randall, I couldn’t help myself:
“I can’t tell you how excited I am that we’re working with Williams Sonoma. I just ordered your new cookware!”
After a rather agonizing half-a-second, they broke into chuckles and we started the meeting with grins on our faces.
Thing is, now I have that silly joke in my brain as a curse. Whenever I write Williams Randall Marketing in a news release or correspondence, I have to triple-check that my favorite kitchen store didn’t sneak back into my business writing.
That said, we announce our partnership with Williams Randall and premiere our three new television commercials with our “Reel Picks” sweepstakes.

You’re welcome to enter every day, using a variety of entry methods.
Your first step?
Take a look at our three new commercials and vote for your favorite.
The three 30-second spots will run one after another. The first is called “The Tour,” then “The Idea,” followed by “Value Meter.”

We’ll have one lucky Grand Prize Winner, chosen at random, who will receive four one-day tickets to Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari and a two-night stay in one of Rudolph’s Christmas Cabins next door to us at Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort. Please note: the Christmas Cabin’s availability to the sweepstakes winner runs from May 1 to May 22, 2014, and May 26 to June 14, 2014. Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari tickets may be used any one day during the park’s 2014 season.
But that’s not all! We’ll have three more winners, also picked at random. Our Second Place Winner receives two one-day tickets to Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari, Third Place receives a $50 HoliCash gift card and Fourth receives a $25 HoliCash gift card.

Would prefer to see the real Santa. The big-headed mascot-looking santa was ugly, scary, and not a good representation of Santa at all. The park was built around Santa Claus, and that thing portraying him is terrible.
Thank you for the feedback; here’s the backstory: https://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/2014/03/20/santa-seen-tv/
The Value Meter!
The Value Meter is my favorite. Holiday world is for a day of family fun at a low price, with it free parking, free soft drinks, free Sunscreen and now Friday night fireworks how could you go wrong. They have rides and fun for all ages. So lets get packing and go have some fun in the sun, with everyone!!!!!!
I love all the pics of holiday world it looks fun I sure hope I win
I love holiday world, and bring friends with us every year!!!!
Great park, clean and lots of fun!!
The idea!!!!!!!!
I liked the butter churning commercial.
Love the tour one!
I have been coming to Holiday World since I was a little girl when it was still Santa Claus Land! We love to bring our kids! Hope I win!
I love the idea one, it made me want to come to holiday world even more now!!
My 3 and 4 year old are ready to come can’t wait to bring them!
I love Holiday World!! There are lots of fun things to do all day long.
We liked the one that announced the Friday Night Fireworks since this is new and exciting information
Excited to bring my kids to Holiday World this summer. We are also going to be camping at Lake Rudolph for the first time this summer 🙂
I like the butter churning commercial because it showcases what all is free at HolidayWorld. For a family, I think the freebies are an attractive option! I can’t wait to visit HolidayWorld one day!
Really like then all
Like new commercial about the new fire works on Friday nite.
I chose the value meter because it wasn’t as creepy as the others. This may hurt my chance, but all three were
really bad and the Santa is creepy. Seems like it’s trying to bite off the Burger King. I can’t lie to win. They are bad. I showed my two girls (10yrs and 6yrs) and they thought they were “stupid” and the Santa “freaking looking.” I
really hope this isn’t a replacement character in the park!
We appreciate your input! Here’s the Santa backstory: https://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/2014/03/20/santa-seen-tv/ There’s no “judging” involved in this sweepstakes – the winners are chosen (electronically) completely at random. We’re not asking folks to be anything but honest with us – thanks again!
Love Holiday World – Creates wonderful new family memories & brings back wonderful childhood memories!
Exploding elf
I actually like all of the commercials but my favorite one was the tour!
I liked the free butter churning lessons commercial the best.
Can’t wait to visit Holiday World!
I like “the idea” commercial as it shows the characters’ personalities. It also seems to show there is so much good already at Holiday World that there is little needed to improve on such a great place. Less talking said more to me. My boys love the idea of the fireworks. We can’t wait to come.
The tour
Cool commercial. I can see kids laughing themselves silly when the elf explodes….
Can’t wait to come this summer!
Hope you pick me!
Love TheTour
I keep looking @ the wesite n get so excited n hopes that I win
I love holiday world, it is the best family fun park around! 🙂
Love holiday world! Best in the world, so much fun for the whole family! 🙂
First, I want to say we love Holiday World and will be back this summer.
Finally, the plastic Santa is creepy. Did you use the same ad agency as Burger King? You should fire your ad rep. Stick to the free soda’s, sunscreen, and very clean park and water park. You have a real Santa at your park, use him instead!
Thanks
The Tour! And we’re never going to Disney again after Holiday World last year! Please let us win so we can give our kids the trip they’re dreaming and begging for!
Too funny
