Challenge

Changes in the federal tax code and continued high local taxes meant New Yorkers were looking to move– Downtown Doral wanted New Yorkers to consider this unfamiliar Florida location in Miami-Dade county.

Break-Out Strategy

Poke fun at the political establishment by creating a website for “Unhappy New Yorkers” where they could download a resignation letter, rant on social media or fill out a form to find a new home in Downtown Doral.
