Marketing Collaborative Initiative
August 7, 2020
Summary:
The Cobb Area Council (CAC) received a $200,000 grant from the Federal Homeloan Bank of San Francisco in September 2019 for the economic development of the Cobb Area following the Valley Fire.
The Marketing Collaborative Initiative:
The CAC allocated $25,000 for a marketing campaign to draw visitors to the Cobb Area to support the local economy. The Marketing Collaborative Initiative will work through the economic development sub-committee, and include business owners, artists, and community members who will develop and steer an inclusive campaign that will benefit and elevate all of the Cobb Area community.
Proposal:
Engage a team of local experts to build the marketing strategy through September 6, 2021 (Labor Day 2021) by developing a website, photography assets, social media campaigns, market research, and outreach, to be coordinated with local business owners, artists and events.
