by Larissa Faw , November 21, 2017
New York City’s tourism marketing organization NYC & Company is launching a big new campaign—“True York City”—with media and partnerships running across 17 countries through spring 2018.
 
The value of the campaign is estimated at $15.6 million, per the organization.
 
The “True York City” creative showcases both well-known and lesser known areas of the five boroughs and invites New York residents to submit their own images.
 
Artwork depicts the phrase “Famous Original New York City” with typography using a sampling of NYC visuals from past and present as an art form. Graphics include an apple (“The Big Apple”), five noise lines to represent the boroughs and a heart, in homage to the “I Love NY” logo, which debuted 40 years ago.
