MCCVB's Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President Rob O'Keefe explains, "A moment is the most granular measure of human experience. Monterey has a vast array of extraordinary experiences and our campaign is a promise to travelers that each moment here is a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime."

The campaign will promote a myriad of personal moments to be had in Monterey with the ever-present message, "Grab Life by the Moments.™."
