City of Seattle, WA
How Seattle uses data driven marketing to promote the City’s strengths
Challenge
The City of Seattle is always looking for innovative ways they can use technology to help drive economic development more effectively and affordably. When Localintel launched its ground-breaking new economic development tool called Industry Advantages, Seattle was one of the first cities in the country to add it to their website.
Solution
Localintel’s Industry Advantages helps Seattle’s economic development department understand, monitor and promote what makes their city special. Furthermore, by embedding directly into the City’s economic development website, Industry Advantages makes it easier for businesses and investors to uncover the industries and clusters that are driving Seattle’s economy and generating opportunities.
Outcomes
One of the most important tasks for any economic developer is to understand their community’s strengths and actively promote them to create new opportunities. By adding Localintel’s next-generation Industry Advantages to its website, the City of Seattle is using advanced technology to do a better job of:
- Identifying valuable insights about strengths and opportunities in their economy
- Promoting these insights on their website
- Saving time and money
