abercrombie kids Partners with Aquariums for sea-venture Campaign

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Feb. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- abercrombie kids, a division of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF), is passionate about enabling a sense of adventure and inspiring kids to learn through play and exploration.  In connection with its spring campaign 'everybody can go on a sea-venture' the brand is excited to launch a partnership with three of the most visited aquariums across the US: Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, and Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois.

The campaign, which aims to bring to life the idea of sea-venture both on land and at sea, will include unique experiences on site at each aquarium centered around exploration and education. Additionally, the brand will host local store events in each market, where customers will have the opportunity to meet an aquatic animal and enjoy special offers at the abercrombie kids locations. 

At abercrombie kids, the team keeps the sense of adventure and play at the heart of everything it does, including through the clothes it designs, which are “made for play”, with details such as reinforced knees and added stretch. This same sentiment is applied to every area of the brand, as it looks to provide engaging content and experiences that inspire that same sense of adventure.
