Durée & Company is proud to announce that we received an Honorable Mention in the Best Overall Event PR Event/Experimental Campaign B2B category at the 2024 PRNEWS Experiential & Event PR Awards. This recognition highlights our public relations campaign for PORT 32 Marinas, highlighting our dedication to innovation and excellence in the public relations and marine and yacht industries.

Anchoring Success for PORT 32 Marinas

PORT 32 Marinas, headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, is a leading owner, operator, developer, and acquirer of a growing collection of irreplaceable marina assets in nine premier markets across both coasts of Florida. Specializing in dry and wet slip coastal marina assets, locations include Jacksonville, Palm Beach Gardens, Fort Lauderdale, Lighthouse Point, Tierra Verde, Tampa, Naples, Cape Coral, and Marco Island.

Our goal was to establish PORT 32 Marinas as a frontrunner by emphasizing its advancements and exceptional service. Through showcasing these strengths, we aimed to boost brand awareness and cultivate lasting customer loyalty.

Our Event Strategy

At Durée & Company, we believe that memorable events are key to establishing and promoting brand identity. For PORT 32 Marinas, we hosted a series of high-profile events that garnered significant attention and engagement:

The event was attended by PORT 32’s CEO Austin Schell, Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis, Broward County Mayor Lamar Fisher, the Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, and other local dignitaries. General Manager Matthew Domke cut the ceremonial ribbon, marking the official opening of this state-of-the-art facility.
  • Event Highlights: The marina, located along “Marina Mile” on the New River, boasts the latest equipment and technology, accommodating vessels from small tenders to yachts up to 180 feet. The new 3-acre yacht basin can hold up to 32 yachts, with expanded dry storage and advanced amenities like a fitness center, lounge area, conference room, and a dockside gazebo. The event emphasized the marina’s top-tier services, including high-speed fueling, hurricane-resistant storage, and commercial space availability.
