TELEVISION
SPOTS TO
LAUNCH JULY
14 FOR
MISSISSIPPI
GULF COAST
TOURISM
A new
Mississippi
Gulf Coast
tourism
television
spot is set
to hit the
airwaves
July 14. The
television
spot, “Wish
You Were
Here,” is
the
highlight of
an
aggressive,
multi-platform,
tourism
campaign
running in
15 regional
markets,
including
Atlanta,
Tampa-St.
Petersburg
and Memphis,
with a media
budget of
$4.2
million.
This effort
is Phase Two
of a
$15-million
campaign
being
administered
by the
Mississippi
Development
Authority
from funds
provided by
British
Petroleum.
The campaign
was inspired
by
Mississippi
Gulf Coast
singer,
songwriter
and pianist
Alva “Allie”
Leigh and
her single,
“Skyline.”
The key
lyric, “Wish
You Were
Here,” is
the driving
message
throughout
the
comprehensive
tourism
campaign.
The “Wish
You Were
Here”
campaign
will include
promotions
and
contests,
including
eleven “Wish
and Win”
giveaways.
The campaign
is mounted
across
multiple
platforms –
television,
radio, web,
YouTube and
social
networks
Facebook and
Twitter. The
campaign
also
utilizes
mobile
texting.
The “Wish
You Were
Here”
campaign and
promotional
information
can be found
at
www.visitmscoast.org.
This website
also
features a
series of
destination
video
reports,
typically
three each
week,
reporting
Gulf Coast
events. The
video
reports can
also be
found on
