Ad for Visit Pensacola featured in Gulf Coast Bride magazine
Brian Ferry March 2012
I was involved in creating the concept for this ad, and I wrote all of the copy displayed on the ad.
​
Visit Pensacola had been using the same ad featuring gulf coast weddings in the Pensacola Bay Area for too long, so it was time for something new. The idea was to high light all of the benefits of having your wedding in the Pensacola region and the variety the area has to offer. "Your Dream Wedding Destination" was the result.

Because I was consistently writing articles for the Greater Pensacola Chamber, I was required to understand the basics of economic development and how it related to the Pensacola region, which sometimes required extensive research.
