National Marketing Campaign for Talent Attraction

Attracting new, needed talent

Out of recognition of the centrality of talent as economic development in the modern economy, Longmont EDP has raised and committed substantial financial resources from their Reach for the Peaks campaign to develop a national economic development marketing campaign with an emphasis on talent recruitment. This campaign is developed in concert with a local marketing firm, Avocet Communications.
