Economic Development

We drive economic growth and development.

Economic development creates new jobs, revitalizes underserved communities, and attracts businesses and investment. Whether you represent the economic development office of a city or state, or a board-driven organization growing your region, you can benefit from our economic development-focused PR services.

There are very few firms that specialize in economic development.

Differentiating your region from thousands of others can be daunting. With specialized public relations counsel, Violet PR’s programs spotlight new business clusters, innovative workforce training programs, redevelopment programs and stand-out lifestyle assets. We also identify human interest stories and train spokespeople to capture journalists’ attention.

How Violet PR can help write your region’s future:

Our leadership team has 75+ years of combined award-winning public relations experience in the economic development sector. Our industry experience and strong media relationships allow us to pinpoint opportunities and trends within the competitive media landscape.

Our programs are highly customized and feature direct time with the team as we conceive and implement your campaign. We offer specialized support on every element of your campaign, from spokesperson training to media relations to social media strategy. We identify key strengths and opportunities for each thriving region we represent.

Ranked the #1 boutique PR firm in the U.S., we have the experience and connections to move the needle for our clients while providing a hands-on personalized experience that isn’t found at larger firms.
