SEATTLE, Jan. 21, 2002 -- KNCB Dave, a Seattle-based advertising and public relations agency, is proud to announce its newest client, Windstar Cruises. KNCB Dave has been chosen to create and launch a new print media campaign for Windstar Cruises as well as consult with media purchasing.

Heading up the account for the upscale cruise line is Dan Callahan, KNCB Dave's partner and director of client services. Callahan provides valuable tourism marketing experience to the 15-year-old veteran cruise line that features smaller sailing ships capable of reaching exotic locales not accessible by larger vessels. KNCB Dave is working closely with Windstar's director of marketing team Tony Scoringe and head of marketing communications Jodi Merrywell to ensure the success of the new campaign.

"We are excited about this campaign," said Dave Syferd, president of KNCB Dave. "Our teams 90+ years of combined experience in travel and tourism will help Windstar assert themselves as one of the best cruise lines in the industry." The first Windstar campaign has been released and can be seen in international consumer and trade publications such as National Geographic Traveler and Travel and Leisure.
