"The phrase (Virginia is for Lovers) came from a creative team headed by George Woltz of Martin & Woltz Inc., the Richmond advertising agency that won the Virginia State Travel Service account in 1968. According to Martin, a $100-a-week copywriter named Robin McLaughlin came up with an advertising concept that read, 'Virginia is for history lovers.' For a beach-oriented ad, the headline would have read, 'Virginia is for beach lovers'; for a mountains ad, 'Virginia is for mountain lovers,' and so on. Martin thought the approach might be too limiting. Woltz agreed, and the agency dropped the modifier and made it simply 'Virginia is for Lovers.'"
