Cultural trends, travel patterns, spending habits. They’re all indicating that people are hungry for growth and expansion, even with economic pressures and uncertainty at home and abroad. Following a whole-system refresh, we’re presenting Santa Fe as the ultimate gateway to the next chapter. Different as it may be for every visitor, Santa Fe is the place to journey deeper into the things you love—and the things you don’t even yet know you love.
The campaign, Uncover Your Different, is performing exquisitely on all channels. The high desirability of the Santa Fe experience is also fueling a surge for New Mexico overall. The state broke all-time visitation and visitor spending records in 2021.

Supporting the People Who Make the Santa Fe Experience
The Virtual Marketplace is off and running.
We listened closely to Santa Fe’s audiences and surveyed stakeholders about their situations, too. Santa Fe’s retail partners sorely needed “foot traffic” during pandemic travel restrictions. In close partnership with the client team, we delivered the Virtual Marketplace.
For Santa Fe’s many clothiers, artisans, chile roasters and other merchants, the Virtual Marketplace relieved the burden of creating an e-commerce storefront and allowed them to serve and interact with customers again—all under the TOURISM Santa Fe tent.
VJ supported the marketplace with a full stack of digital marketing tactics. Even now, a full 25% of the traffic to the site comes from FB/Instagram. Unique and first-time visitor numbers are still climbing, and there’s a contingent of consistently returning visitors, too.
