CHICAGO – Nov. 19, 2014 – Sea Island, a luxury five-star resort along the southeastern coast of Georgia, has hired KemperLesnik, a leading public relations, sports marketing and events management agency, to handle its golf public relations.
Sea Island is well-known among families and discerning travelers for its reputation of excellence, gracious hospitality and world-class facilities. The resort also has a rich history in golf with three championship golf courses, including Seaside, home of the PGA TOUR’s McGladrey Classic, and a new Golf Performance Center that is among the finest teaching facilities in the nation.
Together, KemperLesnik and Sea Island will work to continue to build awareness for the resort among avid golf travelers and top amateur and professional golfers alike. By highlighting the unparalleled golf experience at Sea Island and the Golf Performance Center, the only facility in the U.S. to employ three of Golf Digest’s “America’s 50 Greatest Teachers,” the agency will increase national and international media exposure for the resort. Sea Island is home to more PGA TOUR professionals than any other golf community.
“KemperLesnik has proven experience in the golf industry, executing golf PR programs for top destinations across the U.S.,” said Parra Vaughan, vice president of marketing and sales for Sea Island. “We see an opportunity with the KemperLesnik team to create broader awareness and recognition for our golf experience among national golf and travel media.”
KemperLesnik will also focus on developing partnership opportunities with leading golf media and associations to extend the exposure of Sea Island’s golf offerings and resort amenities.
