The Greater Houston Partnership is launching a new branding campaign called Houston: The City with No Limits.

The campaign is geared towards Millennials to move to Houston. It’s not the city’s first effort to create a better image for itself.

The Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau has had two campaigns, both of which were geared towards potential visitors.

We learn about their “Biggest Little City” image campaign.
