Agency Wins Silver Flagler Award for Sanibel Sea School; One of Only Two Lee County Award Winners
Sanibel, FL: Outlier Brands, a national award-winning brand activation agency headquartered in Sanibel, Florida, is the recipient of a Silver Flagler Award for “The Water’s Fine” spring and summer multi-media campaign for Sanibel Sea School. Outlier Brand specializes in business-to-consumer organizations and companies, with more than 35 years of experience and 1,000-plus success awards.
The same campaign was also awarded a Bronze Campaign Award from the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International in late 2024. View the case study here or contact Outlier Brands below to view the entire video, social, e-marketing, web and print campaign.

Outlier Brands and LCVCB are the only two entities in Lee County to win a prestigious Flagler Award at this year’s Governor’s Conference on Tourism, hosted late August in Tampa.
