New Birmingham slogan, marketing campaign to be unveiled
A unified marketing campaign touting Birmingham's top attractions will soon be launched to boost tourism and recruit local ambassadors to promote the city. BIG Communications President John Montgomery unveiled prototypes for the "In Birmingham" campaign - which his firm is handling - during the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce's 2008 Business Outlook Conference Thursday at the downtown Sheraton. The new slogan features the city's name in bold letters with a red square highlighting the "in" portion of the name Birmingham. The campaign will officially launch in February, Montgomery said. Montgomery said the campaign consists of "In Birmingham" advertisements in national meeting and convention magazines. The joint city branding campaign will feature "one voice" representing the airport, the metropolitan development board, the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex, the visitors' bureau and the chamber of commerce.
