Simplifying the online experience, for the busy parents and retired adults that make up this unique demographic, studio360 created compelling content utilizing java video playback to engage the user in rich-media without discouraging them with plug-ins and complicated downloads.

Reinventing the existing stock of Holland America's video footage and graphics, studio360 distilled the content of archived images into usable products by developing three videos. Featuring customers and employees sharing why they chose Holland America as their cruise line.

Finally, to increase traffic on the newly developed Website, studio360 implemented a rich-media marketing campaign utilizing the videos within its opt-in e-mail delivery to reach 128,000 online customers.
