The campaign includes a landing page with trip planning and itinerary resources, as well as two 15-second videos: “Invite Friends & Family” and “Discover Your Own Backyard.” Local freelancer Josh Epperson of PWT LLC created the campaign, with creative design by RRT’s Rachel McCue. It will be promoted through digital, TV and social media channels.

The campaign features testimonies from various Richmonders, including VCU men’s basketball head coach Mike Rhoades, the Richmond Flying Squirrels’ Todd “Parney” Parnell and VCU biomedical engineering student Sana Natividad. More stories will be added throughout the campaign, which is set to run through June and includes print, television and digital advertising.
