Imagine yourself as the CEO of an “Amusement Theme Park” which is newly opened nearby the busiest and international city of a country. Despite the fact that the city is very famous and highly populated, it did not have a major theme or amusement park before. Therefore the new “Park” was able to obtain a monopoly in the area; the park is now the largest in the world! Because the city was lacking a major park, the “Amusement Theme Park” attracted major publicity and was supported with significant media advertising. The primary communication focus was on the large size of the park and the selling of seasonal pass tickets.
