English term

making a splash

English to German Marketing Advertising / Public Relations whirlpool / spa / hot tub
From a brochure for whirl pools/spas:

"It's Leslie Nielsen making a splash as (DVD title). For a free DVD, please visit... etc."

They had Leslie Nielsen tour their factories and made a DVD out of it.

I don't want to lose this neat twist "make a splash" in connection with hot tubs, whirl pools, etc.

Is there a nice eqivalent in German?

Many thanks in advance!
