3/24/2005 - Who's Buying Print Advertising?


3/24/05 - Beverly Hills: Come Hither, All Tourists:
Beverly Hills' image as a star-studded stomping ground for the world's most glamorous socialites--and the tourists who want to be around them-- doesn't seem to need much of a polish. But the Beverly Hills Conference and Visitors Bureau wants tourists to do more than windowshop on Rodeo Drive; it wants them to book off-season overnight stays at the city's tony hotels and reserve tables at its gourmet restaurants. That's the objective of a $2 million campaign from independent M&C Saatchi in Santa Monica, Calif., that launches this week. Print work attempts to seduce potential visitors by personifying the city as a romantic, sophisticated young woman. One full-page ad that breaks in April magazines including Travel + Leisure and Food & Wine depicts a woman wearing a glamorous, lace-up-the-back gown (on loan from Beverly Hills' Barneys), gazing through a picture window. "Is it shopping or sightseeing?" asks seemingly hand-scripted text. Like an intimate note, smaller writing reads, "There's lots more I'd like to show you. Love, Beverly Hills."
