Dallas Regional Chamber launches economic development campaign

 By

The Dallas Regional Chamber hopes to generate a buzz about the area in a new economic development campaign that features recruiting trips to other states, innovative marketing methods and interactive online tools.

Launched this week, the plan is to encourage companies “in places like California and Illinois not typically known for being business-friendly to ‘move to their future,’ ” chamber spokeswoman Amy Ramos said. The campaign’s tag line is “Business works better here.”

“It’s a ‘why Dallas’ pitch,” said Jessica Heer, vice president of economic development for the chamber. The chamber is focusing on the area’s business environment, accessibility and a large workforce, she said.
