corporate initiative of the year
visit Philadelphia's
"filadelfia- you gotta feel it" campaign

Recognized by Ad Week, the Filadelfia – You Gotta Feel It  is a “bold” marketing initiative developed with support from an advisory committee composed of Hispanic leaders committed to showcasing the city’s diversity and to welcoming 2 million Latinx visitors to the region. The multi-million-dollar campaign aims to reach Latino travelers with its Spanglish messaging, yet it also expands its reach to the mainstream, by placing ads in public spaces such as New York’s Penn Station, metro stops and highways to funnel visitors to local events and destinations.
