We specialize in branding and marketing outreach strategies for regions and rural communities that facilitate productive regional economic development and growth. We are very good at helping diverse groups of communities and their stakeholders work together, toward common goals.
Our resume includes work in attraction, retention/expansion, workforce development, legislative and government affairs and in strategic planning for communities, regions and transportation projects.
We were called in to create a brand for a new regional economic development entity and to create a gateway website and outreach program. That brand has grown to be recognized as the Real AZ Corridor. The Corridor (and its parent organization, the Real AZ Development Council) has been recognized as a model for successful regionalism. It was also the winner of the 2010 Governor’s Excellence Award for Innovation in Economic Development.
We continue to work with the Real AZ Corridor and its community stakeholders to promote key sectors and to strengthen the region’s growing visibility. A grant application that we wrote on RADC’s behalf is funding key marketing projects. The social media program that we oversee is creating new interest in the Corridor on steadily increasing basis.
