Zoo Media is the only agency built exclusively to bring brands, sponsorships, and integrated technology solutions to the zoo, aquarium, and wildlife conservation industry.
We serve two sides of the same ecosystem. For zoos and aquariums, we deliver the technology, marketing, and workforce solutions that transform facilities into Smart Venues. For corporate America, we open the door to one of the most trusted, family-friendly, and brand-safe environments in the country — connecting brands with 248 million annual zoo visitors through sponsorships, advertising, hospitality, and immersive activations.
As a Dakdan Worldwide company backed by a portfolio of 50+ businesses, we bring enterprise-level resources to an industry that's 15-20 years behind sports venues in digital adoption — and we're closing that gap faster than anyone thought possible.
To empower zoos and aquariums worldwide to become Smart Venues through integrated technology solutions, workforce development, and conservation-focused marketing — while simultaneously building the bridge that connects corporate brands to the zoo industry through sponsorships, advertising, hospitality, and meaningful brand activations.
We believe every zoo deserves access to enterprise-level technology, and every brand deserves access to the most trusted, family-friendly audience in America. Our mission is to make both a reality.
To expand the corporate presence, sponsorship, advertising, and access to zoos and aquariums — transforming these beloved institutions into modern, revenue-generating Smart Venues where conservation, education, and brand partnerships thrive together.
We envision a future where every zoo and aquarium operates with cutting-edge technology, where corporate sponsors see zoo partnerships as essential to their brand strategy, and where the revenue generated from these partnerships directly funds wildlife conservation efforts around the world.
The principles that guide every decision we make — for our zoo partners, our corporate clients, and the conservation mission we all share.
We push the boundaries of what's possible in the zoo industry — from AI-powered visitor engagement to IoT-connected habitats. Innovation isn't just a buzzword; it's how we close the 15-20 year technology gap between zoos and other entertainment venues.
We don't just sell services — we become a true extension of our clients' teams. Whether we're working with a zoo director on a Smart Venue roadmap or connecting a Fortune 500 brand with sponsorship opportunities, lasting relationships are at the heart of everything we do.
From the quality of our 700+ children's books to the precision of our OTT/CTV targeting, we hold ourselves to the highest standard. Every product, service, and interaction reflects our commitment to delivering world-class results for zoos, aquariums, and corporate partners alike.
Wildlife conservation is the reason zoos exist, and it's the reason we exist. Every technology we build, every sponsorship we broker, and every campaign we run is designed to strengthen the conservation mission — connecting visitors, brands, and communities to the cause.
Transparency, accountability, and ethical standards guide every decision. We earn trust through results, not promises — publishing real ROI metrics, honoring commitments, and ensuring every brand partnership aligns with the conservation values of the facilities we serve.
We measure success not by the number of contracts signed, but by the tangible outcomes we create — increased attendance, higher membership retention, new revenue streams, stronger conservation funding, and deeper connections between brands, communities, and wildlife.
