Destination Seneca County Launches “Be Local” Campaign Alongside New Community Guide
New campaign and guide promote local businesses, attractions, events, and community pride
Destination Seneca County has officially launched its new “Be Local in Seneca County” campaign alongside the release of the 2026-2027 Seneca County Community Guide.
The new campaign is designed to encourage both residents and visitors to experience Seneca County through local businesses, events, attractions, dining, shopping, and community connections. Built around the message “Be Local in Seneca County,” the campaign emphasizes that every experience comes with a warm welcome, a sense of connection, and a place to belong.
Local is not where you’re from. It’s how you experience Seneca County while you’re here. Whether someone is visiting for a day or has lived here their entire life, Destination Seneca County wants people to feel connected to what makes Seneca County unique.
As part of the campaign rollout, Destination Seneca County will introduce updated messaging, branding, and creative designs across billboards, digital advertising, social media, print materials, and the Destination Seneca County website. The campaign will also expand the county’s reach through new advertising and marketing channels, increased statewide tourism involvement and exposure, and take advantage of additional opportunities designed to attract visitors while strengthening local engagement.
The new 2026–2027 Community Guide has been mailed to every residential address in Seneca County. Additional copies are being distributed statewide through Ohio Turnpike travel plazas, visitor centers, destination marketing organizations, tourism bureaus, and other travel-focused locations, as well as through more than 200 local businesses, organizations, and government offices throughout Seneca County.
The guide includes information on local dining, shopping, outdoor recreation, lodging, events, community resources, and attractions designed to support both visitors and residents exploring the area.
“The ‘Be Local in Seneca County’ campaign highlights the businesses, organizations, and people that make our community strong,” said Bill Frankart, President of the Seneca County Board of Commissioners. “The new community guide is another important tool to showcase what Seneca County has to offer while encouraging residents and visitors alike to support local and stay connected.”
The 2026–2027 Community Guide is available throughout Seneca County and online at SenecaCountyGuide.com.
