GKCC marketer plugging Killeen on social media

After a couple of months on a pioneering job, Jonathan Packer is optimistic about getting Killeen's name out there where people can see it in places where people are looking today.

As the director of marketing and research for the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce, he is in charge of printed promotional material. He is redesigning the chamber's Web site, hopefully to be finished next month, and is putting information about the city on social sites like Facebook and MySpace to get people around the country talking to each other about Killeen and its assets.

"To my knowledge, this is the first place this has been tried among economic development organizations in Texas," he said. "Individual businesses do it all the time now, but development organizations haven't kept up. We're still going to do the traditional things but add more and more of this." More here.
