Six Flags is doubling down on fun in its latest ad campaign. The theme park giant introduces a no-nonsense 'Funsultant,' a fictional character whose full-time job is ensuring every inch of the park delivers maximum joy. With an expressionless face and clipboard in hand, she audits rides, snacks, and smiling guests with the gravitas of a secret agent -- but make no mistake, she’s 'overcome with joy' on the inside.
Launched under the new brand platform 'We’re Serious About Fun,' the campaign highlights the meticulous behind-the-scenes work that powers rollercoaster thrills and churro-filled adventures. Created by TMA and coinciding with the recent Six Flags–Cedar Fair merger, the campaign spans across regional parks and includes spots airing during high-traffic events like the NBA Playoffs and NFL Draft.
