Dallas Is ‘Bigger Than Ever,’ in Convention and Visitors Bureau’s New Ad

|

This newly posted ad by the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau starts out with the cliche images of wide open spaces, cattle, and dudes in cowboy hats, and I thought “OK, fine, the CVB has to sell the cartoon image of the city to the world, I guess.”

But then it takes a turn, and I have to say, I’m usually immune to such manipulative pleas for civic pride, but it got me pretty pumped about living here. Nicely done.

UPDATE: But, no, I don’t believe the roving B and G campaign has “reignited residents’ passion for our city,” as this other new video claims.
