This campaign emphasizes not just luxury accommodations but uses stunning landscapes and surprising visuals to illustrate that Monterey County has the most diverse luxury offerings in the world (or at least the U.S.). Rooted in the idea that seeking true worth often leads to discovering something priceless, “Seek & Find” is distinct in its look and feel, media and audience targeting, while aligning with the “Find Your Way Here” brand platform to enhance its impact across segments. View guidelines here.
