“Trying to enclose the magnificence of a place like Puerto Vallarta in one concept is probably very complicated. However, for those of us fortunate enough to have been bewitched by the immense beauty of this paradise, all that remains for us is honor its existence, in every sense of the word.” Editorial Commentary, Puerto Vallarta Official Magazine, first issue
Thus began the story of a publishing project that arose from the need of the Board to generate information and original content which would make the user (whether local, national or international) feel as though someone was speaking into his ear. To make it feel so close, like feeling the sand between his toes during a walk along the beach as the wind narrates what Puerto Vallarta has to say from deep down inside…
In this communication piece for the Board, the OOH Marketing team brings together the experiences of people who are very closely familiar with Puerto Vallarta, and who, because of their commitment and love for the destination, will show its best side.
