It’s no secret that Florida’s economy relies on tourism. But due to people canceling their vacations because of the coronavirus pandemic, the state of Florida has lost somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 billion and countless jobs.
But Visit Florida is trying to do their part to keep residents spending in-state as part of a new ad campaign. Fishing Captain John Gauntt believes their plan is working.
Gauntt runs Day 5 Fishing Charter on Fort Myers Beach. “It was an awesome beautiful day on the water,” he said.

NJ ad campaign pushes more to get COVID-19 test | KYW

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — New Jersey is ready to push a little harder to get people to get tested for coronavirus with a new media campaign.
Commercials are running on radio stations, targeting minority communities across the state. Paired with cable TV, billboard and social media advertising, Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli hopes to get a specific message out.
"The campaign, 'For Each Other, For Us All,' reinforces that we are all in this together," she said. "What one person does or doesn't do can impact another, and we must work together to protect not just ourselves but our families and our community at large to get through this pandemic."
On Politics: Finally, state comes out with robust mask-wearing ad campaign; just hope it's not

Politicians and public leaders absolutely know communication is necessary. To be heard, you have to talk. Speak right up, let everyone hear you. Show them your ideas and plans are sound and valuable. Read more
If you are a public leader, every day you have to convince those you lead that they follow you for a reason.
So, in the case of Hawaii’s state government, with our health in jeopardy, it was a mystery why there hadn’t been a full-bore communication strategy about wearing a mask.

Quite a lot has been going on:
Joe Biden Announces Elections Ad Buy Totaling $280 Million - The New York Times

Joseph R. Biden Jr .'s campaign announced a $280 million fall advertising blitz on Wednesday, outlining plans for $220 million in television and $60 million in digital ads across 15 states in the lead-up to the November election.
The ad reservation, which will begin on Sept. 1, is by far the biggest of the 2020 race by either campaign and is a sign of the swift turnabout in Mr. Biden's finances, as both small and large donors have rallied behind him since he became the presumptive Democratic nominee against President Trump .
Kennedy releases ad attacking Markey on senator's home turf of Malden - The Boston Globe

The ad opens with a bird's eye view of Malden and IBEW Local 2222 Business Manager Myles Calvey intoning, "This is where it happened. Where Ed Markey put hundreds of union workers out on the streets, selling them out to giant telecom corporations and then taking hundreds of thousands of donations from those same companies."

Calvey said the losses "came at the expense of my union brothers and sisters," but does not specify what companies lost jobs.

"Donald Trump is waging a war on truth, on decency, on our planet, and on working people. For the sake of everything we care about, we have to get him out of the White House in 2020," the group said on its website. "As progressives and leftists, we are not going to minimize our disagreements with Joe Biden. But we're also clear-eyed about where things stand: supporting the Democratic nominee in swing states is the only means we have to defeat Trump."
"If Biden wins, we'll be at his door on day one, demanding the kinds of structural reforms that advance racial, economic, and environmental justice. But before that, it's clear what we have to do: This November, we have to #VoteTrumpOut in swing states."
