- Represent new brand positioning by conveying the feeling of Effortless Revitalization.
- Portray new brand personality as a confident, authentic destination that knows what we stand for and where we’re going.

The Idea
They say: The desert is hot. It’s desolate. It’s rough and dangerous and wild.
We say: It is. Absolutely. And it’s exactly what you need right now.
Messaging
The campaign’s short, declarative headlines grab consumers’ attention and make them pause, spinning perceived negatives into positives.
Design
The campaign’s imagery is fresh, vibrant, authentic and consistent. Audiences will imagine themselves in the active, diverse group settings shown in the ads. While the photography shows the unmistakable beauty of Scottsdale’s desert, the design is just as distinctive. Type, color, art direction and layout come together for an iconic campaign.
