We wanted to show how life really looks and feels here.”— Dave Lion, Director of Marketing at Ventura County CoastVENTURA COUNTY, CA, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ventura County Coast has officially launched "Feel Like This," its first national commercial and brand refresh since 2016. The new destination campaign highlights the people, places, and experiences that define the region. The campaign has already earned two Gold Telly Awards for excellence in travel, tourism, and hospitality marketing. Filmed across Ventura County, featuring the cities of Ventura, Camarillo, Oxnard, and Port Hueneme, "Feel Like This" captures the region’s lifestyle through the lens of two visitors immersed in local adventure and community. From jet skiing in the harbor, diving into the kelp forest at Channel Islands National Park, browsing shops, taking oyster shots with friends, and watching the sunset on the beach, the commercial highlights the authentic experiences that define the destination. A Campaign Rooted in Real People What sets this campaign apart isn’t just the experiences on screen, but the people behind them. The cast is made up of locals from the destination; every location is real, and everything featured is something travelers can do. Local participants include a pilot from the Commemorative Air Force Southern California Wing Aviation Museum (CAF), a professional mountain biker, a local surf instructor, and a background cast featuring members of our community."Our cast of locals bring authenticity and energy to the commercial, showcasing just how naturally the destination invites people in. We wanted to show how life really looks and feels here: it's laid-back, connected, and full of adventure, " says Dave Lion, Director of Marketing at Ventura County Coast. But the strategy goes beyond storytelling. "Feel Like This" invites travelers to step directly into the scenes they see. A dedicated landing page on VenturaCountyCoast.com lets visitors plan the same itinerary featured in the commercial, from land, air, and sea experiences to the businesses behind them. The campaign turns a traditional commercial into something interactive: travelers don’t just watch, they plan, book, and go. The campaign launched with high-profile placements across top streaming platforms, including HBO Max, Peacock, and DIRECTV. A Multi-Audience Strategy for Leisure and Business Designed to engage both leisure travelers and group event planners, "Feel Like This" includes a companion storyline featuring the same lead couple in a meetings and events setting. This version brings a rare, creative angle to meetings marketing, blending high production value with a tone that positions Ventura County Coast as both dynamic and approachable for business travel. Titled "Beyond the Boardroom," the companion commercial brings this value proposition to life, showcasing a seamless blend of professional gatherings and coastal adventure. It proves that a business trip to Ventura County Coast can truly "feel like" a vacation. This dual-track strategy sets Ventura County Coast apart by engaging both leisure and business audiences with equal authenticity. It’s a fresh approach that elevates meetings marketing through cinematic storytelling and a tone that is warm, real, and true to the destination. It is proof that when it comes to group meetings and events, you don't have to choose between work and play. Ventura County Coast shows why California truly is the ultimate playground.

Finanse

K. Gawkowski: Polska w cyfrowej transformacji gospodarki awansowała do pierwszej ligi w Europie. 2,8 mld zł z KPO jeszcze ten proces przyspieszy

Uruchomiony na początku lipca przez Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji i BGK program „KPO: Pożyczka na cyfryzację” cieszy się dużym zainteresowaniem. Samorządy, uczelnie oraz firmy mogą wnioskować o wsparcie finansowe dla inwestycji w transformację cyfrową, m.in. modernizację infrastruktury czy cyberbezpieczeństwo. W sumie na ten cel trafi 2,8 mld zł (650 mln euro). Ze względu na krótki czas naboru obie instytucje organizują w poszczególnych województwach warsztaty dla wnioskodawców, które mają rozwiać ich wątpliwości przy przygotowywaniu wniosków.

Koszty certyfikacji wyrobów medycznych sięgają milionów euro. Pacjenci mogą stracić dostęp do wyrobów ratujących życie

Od 2027 roku wszystkie firmy produkujące wyroby medyczne w Unii Europejskiej będą musiały posiadać certyfikat zgodności z rozporządzeniem MDR (Medical Devices Regulation). Nowe przepisy wprowadzają dużo ostrzejsze wymagania w zakresie dokumentacji, badań klinicznych oraz procedur certyfikacyjnych. Branża ostrzega, że część małych i średnich producentów nie zdąży się dostosować. Problemem jest także wysoki koszt i długi czas uzyskiwania certyfikatów. W konsekwencji z rynku mogą zniknąć urządzenia ratujące życie.

Infrastruktura

Nowe przepisy o ochronie ludności cywilnej wprowadzają obowiązkowe elastyczne zbiorniki na wodę. Mają one służyć w razie suszy, pożarów czy wybuchu wojny

Samorządy będą musiały posiadać m.in. elastyczne zbiorniki na wodę pitną i przenośne magazyny wody przeciwpożarowej. To element odpowiedniego przygotowania zasobów na wypadek sytuacji kryzysowych, kataklizmów czy wybuchu konfliktu, wprowadzony nowymi przepisami o ochronie ludności. Eksperci podkreślają, że tego typu rozwiązania to innowacyjne produkty, które nie tylko ułatwiają logistykę w sytuacjach kryzysowych, ale także mogą znacząco skrócić czas reakcji służb ratunkowych.
