Where the Locals Go

Montana has become the first state featured on National Geographic's “Where the Locals Go” website as part of a new $4 million advertising campaign.

It's the most recent of a series of highly visible marketing campaigns the state has launched, including a promotional trip former Gov. Brian Schweitzer took to New York City and a $1 million marketing push in Chicago that was the state's first crowd-sourced social media campaign.

But the “Where the Locals Go” campaign might attract the most eyes yet. The website attracts 26 million unique visitors each month — a level of “unprecedented exposure for Montana,” said Dan Iverson, spokesman for the state tourism office.
