The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), is one of the most comprehensive art museums in the world with a renowned collection of nearly 500,000 works ranging from historical masterpieces to contemporary icons. Following their successful “Art for All” rebrand campaign that launched in Fall 2022, the MFA wanted to continue their momentum and create excitement surrounding their new exhibition: “Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence”. Their main challenge, akin to that of their recent rebranding, was conveying MFA Boston as a place for visitors of all ages and backgrounds. Their new Hokusai exhibit provided them an opportunity to embody the principles of diversity and inclusion that they align with, by showcasing a Japanese artist whose works are recognized and interpreted by people of all backgrounds. With Boston being a predominant tourist hub, specifically for cultural and historical enrichment, the MFA needed to make a “big splash”.

The destination Virginia’s Blue Ridge represents Roanoke and surrounding cities/counties within an hour’s driving radius. A large number of visitors to the region travel from Northern Virginia. The Metro-Mountain mix of Virginia’s Blue Ridge serves as an opportunity to be a major mountain/outdoor adventure travel destination for the residents of Northern Virginia due to proximity while also supplying city amenities such as high-class accommodations, arts & culture, and food & beverage. One challenge the organization faces when advertising to the Northern Virginia/Washington DC market is ensuring the audience is aware of where Virginia’s Blue Ridge is located and the various cities/counties that fall under the “Virginia’s Blue Ridge” designation.
