Call him what you will – a really good salesman or just a brilliant troller – but Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami, is getting some high praise for his marketing campaign in San Francisco. Drivers on the highway are noticing a billboard designed to be a tweet from Mayor Suarez that reads, Thinking about moving to Miami? DM Me.
The intent, according to CBS SF, is to drive tech workers who were forced out of their San Francisco offices by the COVID-19 pandemic to Florida. The New York Times published a lengthy piece on how tech employees couldn t get out of the Bay Area fast enough.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has launched a billboard and social media campaign designed to lure tech workers forced out of their San Francisco offices by the COVID-19 pandemic to move to the Sunshine state.
Since last March, thousands of tech workers have relocated out of San Francisco to work remotely from other areas of California and the country.
Over the summer, Palantir, a tech firm with ties to the military and intelligence agencies, moved from Palo Alto to Colorado.
