Branding vs. Business Development
Getting the Right Mix in Your Marketing Strategy

September 25, 2008 
9:30 am – 12:30 pm

The first in a series of workshops discussing investment promotion marketing.  These workshops are designed to be open forums focusing on the challenges faced by economic development professionals.  These panel presentations and discussions with your peers are intended to help your organization improve marketing performance and address related challenges.

Economic development promotion is a broad and complex discipline further complicated by the political nature of the business.  Over the course of the next year, the Investment Promotion Agency Forum will tackle many of the marketing and organizational issues facing agencies with economic development responsibilities.
