Actual ads? Pieces of media payed for by someone?
Tacoma in Washington State puts up billboards in Seattle every so often, targeting techies (e.g. a campaign a few years ago boasted how much better broadband was down there).
I have seen plenty of ads for jobs in North Carolina and other low cost of living locales whose call to action is "move here and pay less rent (plus have a job that might not suck)."
Yep. Mitt Romney made some as gov of Mass, trying to lure biotech.
Yes. Pieces of media payed for by someone - mostly in the subway.
