Like Evan McPherson, Cincinnati is putting its best foot forward in LA.

The Cincinnati Media Center opened Sunday at the Westin LAX to serve as a resource to all media covering the 2022 Super Bowl. The Media Center, a collaboration of Cincinnati Experience, Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau, and REDI Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Media Center, is managed by Game Day Communications.

Each day, Cincinnati-focused media alerts and content will be shared and media interview opportunities will be available in the Media Center. Open from 2 a.m. PDT/ 5 a.m. EDT until 4 p.m. PDT/ 7 p.m. EDT for breakfast and lunch, the Media Center also offers guests a daily Cincinnati-themed gift.

On Thursday, Feb. 10, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine visited the Cincinnati Media Center for media availability.

Bringing a little “Cincy” to LA.

On Friday, Julie Calvert, president & CEO, of the Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau and Adam Burke, president & CEO, of Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board will “trash talk” about the importance of tourism and the Super Bowl with LA as host and Cincinnati inviting fans to stay in downtown Cincinnati this weekend.

In 2014, a unified Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky business, arts and tourism collaborative determined a community priority was raising the reputation of the Cincinnati region to attract talent, businesses and visitors. The national media initiative, now known as Cincinnati Experience, was created to amplify Cincinnati’s major assets of arts, culinary, culture, entrepreneurship and innovation. Working together, this initiative has paid off, and today, the region is hosting at the Super Bowl, an international media center that firmly positions Cincinnati as a major player on a global scale.
