the core concept

The Boston accent has been a defining attribute of the people of Boston. But now with more than 300 languages spoken in the Boston area, shouldn’t we redefine what it means to have a Boston accent?

show us your boston accent

We believe that what a person contributes to Boston is what should be defined as their “accent”. It’s the flavor they are adding to the city. Whether that’s a person’s culture, music, cuisine, or passion.
In this concept, we encourage people to share their “Boston accent,” spoken in their own language. Whether that’s a true spoken language, a language of movement, art, or culture.

This campaign tells the story of a Boston for everyone, whether your family dates back six generations here, you’re new to this city, or whether you haven't yet had the chance to come and visit.
