Ocean City, Maryland Department of Tourism

The year 2009 will go down as one of the worst economic periods in U.S. history. Unless, of course, you were in Ocean City, Maryland. Despite a dire worldwide recession, and tourism numbers that plummeted nationwide, Ocean City had a very good year.

Much of the credit goes to an integrated MGH campaign featuring "Rodney," an O.C. lifeguard who rescues people from their mundane, stressful lives, and whisks them to Ocean City.

Faced with research that showed 31% of Americans had already canceled, postponed, or reduced the amount of vacation they would take that year, we knew we had to boldly give people permission to vacation.
