Create a Pure Michigan Ad

LANSING, Mich., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- They inspire...they bring tears to your eyes...they make you proud to be a Michigander. They make you want to explore the state. They are the Pure Michigan ads. Pure Michigan ads have been running on television, radio and in print for the past few years generating awards, accolades and positive response from the industry as well as travelers.

"Consumers have been very responsive to the Pure Michigan advertising campaign. We have received hundreds of emails and calls commenting on the ads and suggesting destinations throughout the state to be included in the campaign," said George Zimmermann, Vice President of Travel Michigan, a division of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. "We thought it would be fun to give travelers an opportunity to create their own Pure Michigan ad."
