California: Find Yourself Here.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md69zCJKD1c]
Message: We are a state that inspired the classic Epyx sports video game “California Games” and elected Ahnold.
Compare that to the new I am Oregonian ad from Travel Oregon on Vimeo that keeps getting me all wistful during my evening couch sitting.
Message: We really like to drive cars, are a state that can look forward and backwards at the same time. We don’t need props to recreate. Except for cars. Oh, and we’re all ruggedly handsome with a poetic sensibility. Grrrrr.
The California ad does look a little slicker, and of course, has celebrities. But I must be an Oregon girl because I’m totally loving Travel Oregon’s new tv spot.
I wonder when Travel Oregon will put “our” ad up on YouTube so people like me can post it?
You can embed it. Is that what you meant?
No, the site won’t let me…
try that code
I am Oregonian from Travel Oregon on Vimeo.
Hi Emily -
The spot is available at Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/4363193
We’re glad you like the spot!
Hi Emily – Thanks much for the kind words! We hope you will take us up on the Oregon 150 challenge!
BTW…here is the link to the video on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F2VYDlcwkI&feature=channel_page
