What they should do, instead of either doing the splatter-gun, something for everyone approach, or deciding which one area Chicago can sell the hardest, is to have a dozen different marketing campaigns, with each one focused on a niche.

Then you could really sell each niche to the audience(s) that are interested in those niches and compete individually against those other niche markets. You could still do a few broad campaigns showcasing all of Chicago's highlights, but we'd also probably have a better shot at attracting the niche audiences, too.
