We love working with neighbourhoods, cities, and states - to help them uncover what makes them different and to use that story to build a disciplined economic strategy. Why?

Foreign-funded or not, the campaigns against the oil sands were only successful because Albertans and Canadians didn't do their jobs. If you don't tell your story, someone will do it for you — every time.
That crumbling parking lot on the most valuable land in your downtown isn't just sitting vacant because the developer's lazy. The real reason has to do with the way your town does property taxes—and if you want that land put to good use, you can help. https://t.co/3z0QGh4iuT

Proud that #YEG has been named “Best Canadian City for Youth to Work"!
Our ranking as #1 is well-deserved recognition after many yrs of city building. Let’s keep up the good work & continue to be intentional about planning for generations to come.

Perhaps no city in America is more synonymous with the dangers of top down development than Flint. That's why we particularly love this story from @CivilEats about how the people are putting their faith back in bottom up, local solutions as they rebuild. https://t.co/5K5ns4r1cg
The Place Brand Observer interviewed @babiak about how we use narrative for strategy. Pour a mulled 🍷 and pull on your reading socks. https://t.co/op7Xx4OW9c
The ads say nothing about the culture or uniqueness of the city (rankings are mostly silly), but Calgary is smart to spend money on this. In a time of economic and spiritual trouble, you have to invite talented people to be part of what comes next.
For organizations and governments that feel most comfortable hiring one of the “big agencies” for brand work... this should ruin your sleep. https://t.co/pKZzBjSiiX
Really impressed with @greatermsp and its honest, clever strategy to attract talent and investment. Know your people and make them feel welcome. #cnp18
The Royal Docks, a massive regeneration project in London, is an inspiration for all the “impossible to develop” waterfront places in North America. It won’t look like this for long...
