New Rhode Island Tourism Video Features ICELAND

The state of Rhode Island just rolled out their new "Cooler & Warmer" ad campaign and it's been quite the unmitigated disaster.
In this video (9-12 seconds in) they use footage from Iceland. www.thenewportb...

Great video. Makes me wanna go to Reykjavik :D

Lol one of the first shots was a famous theatre in Reykjavik!

Don't let this video impact your view of our state. It is a beautiful and welcoming place. We had a bad marketer, and now she's gone. Visit RI, especially Newport. There's no where better.

Haha, this is probably a better advertisement for Iceland than Rhode Island.

Gísli Magnússon so true and also you beat me to it xD

I never would have watched this as an enticing way to get to me to RI. My hubby and I discovered RI on a trip to CT from Toronto (12 years ago). And, we fell in love with the State. This enticed me to explore.... this video does not have that impact.

One sec your decided to go on a Vacation to CT what in god green made you decide to do that.

@@zacheslick Hahahahaha I don't even remember what the context of this video is about any longer. 8 years later 🤣 But...I love New England very much 🩵

Hilarious. Love it when we hear the spoken words "never turning back" while the visual shows people dressed in Revolutionary War clothes. Also, the voice-over announcer slurs the letter S every damn time. How not to make a commercial.

[@modelrc9500]

I only saw one clip that was filmed in RI xD

[@timbosabo]

fire the ad agency as well..plus the line producer

[@itrytryandtryagain]

too much cliche
