New York wants more corporations to set up shop in the Empire State and they're recruited some big names to get that message across.

Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled an ad campaign Thursday that showcases the state's resources and economic advantages.

"It is time for the business community to realize that our state is the place for them to succeed and prosper," he said in a statement.

A Spike Lee directed video has already hit the web that features narration from Robert De Niro who talks about the state's economic strengths as images of New York State are shown.
