New York, NY, May 15, 2022: America’s “beachiest beach” returns for a second summer with the latest hilarious Visit Myrtle Beach campaign out of production company The Workshop, in partnership with Valiant Pictures and FreshFly, directed by Valiant Pictures’ Vincent Lin. The Workshop enlisted the assistance of Valiant Pictures and FreshFly as part of their long-standing relationship with Visit Myrtle Beach.
The same witty anchors return to highlight even more recurring beachgoers and their fun-in-the-sun fumbles, from one beach reader who won’t be distracted by sun, sand, or pantomime, to the dad who has mastered sunscreen and slick saves when ice cream is on the line, and everyone in between.

The campaign marks another successful collaboration between Valiant Pictures and FreshFly, which partnered to represent both companies’ roster directors for scripted and non-scripted branded content opportunities.
Tom Farrell, Executive Producer of The Workshop notes, “I would put this campaign up against any other destination marketing campaign. Myrtle Beach has so much to offer and these spots show that to viewers in a fun way. There’s so much more to explore here.”
"It's encouraging that we've been able to produce a second year of this commercial campaign--it would indicate that it's working!" adds Chayne Gregg, Executive Producer of FreshFly.
