The Story of RumbleBuzz
Kristy spent 20 years progressively moving through SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment marketing, ultimately designing programs that encouraged seasonal visitation from locals and tourists. Throughout her tenure she oversaw loyalty, partnerships, promotions and was embedded in digital marketing. During this time she began working with Andrea, one of the team's most strategic and competent young hires.
Later, after a year of consulting with ZooTampa, Kristy was asked to join the team as the Chief Marketing Officer, and she had the opportunity to lure Andrea back to Tampa as Director of Communications.
When the opportunity presented itself for Kristy and Andrea to partner again - the decision was easy - and RumbleBuzz was born.
