Collaborating with a creative leader like DreamWorks Animation enabled us to develop a fun and effective campaign that will give us an edge come Super Bowl Sunday,” said Wix CMO Omer Shai. “Even if you’re not a Dragon Warrior, with Wix you can effectively use the web to grow your business or brand. And that all starts with a stunning website.”
