Houston:  The City with No Limits

There’s a new push these days designed to bring young professionals and corporate executives to Houston, which many consider a good place to work but a not-so-great place to live.

The new image campaign, unveiled by the Greater Houston Partnership, will include TV spots that reflect Houston’s upbeat spirit, diversity of opportunity and fun atmosphere.

The website debut at Thecitywithnolimits is accompanied by the video below showing split-second images of the skyline, ballet dancers, the first moon landing, the galleria and smiling faces of Houstonians.

TV spots will run locally this year, and the campaign will go worldwide next year, says Bob Harvey, president and CEO of the Greater Houston Partnership.

First up on the city-wide campaign, Limitless Living at Discovery Green, September 6, 2014, where you can jam out to live music, show your team spirit, and peruse local goods from craft shops all over!

There’s a variety of food tents, arts and crafts, and face-painting, as well as prizes & giveaways for all.  Families and friends are encouraged, and admission is free.

“When you’re in Houston, there are no limits to the fun you’ll find.”

Each year, the Houston Award Program identifies companies that have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category.

These exceptional companies help make the Houston area a great place to live, work and play.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2014 Houston Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity.

The Houston Award Program is an annual awards program honoring the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses throughout the Houston area. Recognition is given to those companies that have shown the ability to use their best practices and implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value.
