This unified effort serves as the industry’s local arm that will elevate all that is good about the city as it cascades it across channels, platforms, and discussions where buyers are also present. 

Along with this is to create a consistent digital awareness campaign redirecting searches across the web to a conversion site where suppliers are all present and waiting.
