2005 Business Recruitment Campaign
Brand Oregon, working with the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department and the Oregon Economic Development Association, created a one-page business recruitment ad featuring Governor Kulongoski inviting prospective businesses to contact him for information about Oregon as a business location. A two-page spread has also run in a limited number of publications. The ads encourage readers to email the Governor or call for detailed information about doing business in Oregon.

The objective of business recruitment advertising is to build awareness among out-of-state companies that Oregon is a primary location for business relocation and expansion. With an initial $150,000 media budget, the campaign kicked off in February 2005 publications, with a California-based, business-oriented target market. The goal is to reach top decision makers at small- to medium-sized businesses headquartered in California who may be seeking more cost-effective business-operation locations.

The media plan included the following publications (see full plan for details):
  Alaska Airlines
  Expansion Management
  Site Selection
  Business Development Outlook
  Business Journals in Sacramento and San Jose
  San Francisco Business Times
  Fortune Small Business
  California CEO

This first phase of the campaign has generated 98 inquiries in just six months, which makes our goal of 100 inquiries per year nearly accomplished. Leads include inquiries from a wide range of sources, including one from a company seeking a location for a vegetable packaging operation; one from a small e-commerce start-up; and one from a manufacturing firm seeking to relocate from California. Members of the Oregon Economic Development Association report their inquiries from Northern California are up, which indicates the campaign may be generating inquiries for regional partners.

A second phase of the campaign expands the media reach into Southern California, with ads running from late June through mid-December 2005. The $175,000 media buy includes the following publications (see full plan for details):

  San Francisco Business Times
  Sacramento Business Journal
  San Jose Business Journal
  Los Angeles Business Journal (new)
  San Diego Business Journal (new)
  Fortune Small Business
  California CEO

2004 Oregon Bounty Campaign
Oregon wines, pears, hazelnuts and cheeses were be featured in the November 2004 Brand Oregon marketing campaign touting Oregon agricultural products. Fifty Oregon wineries hosted special tasting events each weekend in the month of November, and grocery stores and restaurants in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend and Medford/Ashland featured Oregon Bounty promotions and events.

Monaco Coach generously donated the RV previously used by the Governor to the campaign. The "Oregon Bounty Mobile" was used in tours around the state to promote the campaign and to provide literature about winery events.

The campaign was a cooperative effort with the Oregon Tourism Commission, agricultural commodity commissions and the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Print and radio advertising in markets from Seattle to Sacramento, as well as an aggressive public relations campaign, will support the promotion. Visit traveloregon.com for full details. Press materials are available here on the Brand Oregon website and a Campaign Report (PDF) also is available.


2004 Oregon Seafood Campaign
