Strategy: People all over the world have an undeniable attractionto New York City, a cultural phenomenon. The desire for the city has transcended generations, seen when huddled masses yearned for freedom on Ellis Island. Drawn to the center of activity which is New York City. Where people are compelled to leave their mark through skyscrapers, fashion, and art. New York City is magnetic.
