Marketing Help for Economic Development Organizations.

We handle the marketing so your team can keep everything else moving.

The Basic Idea

A Lot to Get Done. Not Always Enough People to Do It.

Economic development comes with a lot of moving parts, and somebody has to do the marketing behind all of it. That's where we help.

Five years working with EDCs. No onboarding on how economic development works required.

Two Ways We Help

Two Ways JumpStart Can Work With Your Organization.

Need a Marketing Team? We Can Be Yours.

For smaller EDCs, we run the day to day marketing function.

  • One team plans it, writes it, designs it and launches it
  • No internal department or stack of freelancers to manage

Already Have a Marketing Team? We Help Them Do More.

Plug us in for a campaign, a channel, or just extra hands.

  • Ads, social, creative, content and lead generation
  • More done without more overhead
What We Actually Handle

We Know What EDC Marketing Actually Looks Like.

Business Attraction

Campaigns, targeting, ads and creative that put your community in front of businesses and site selectors.

Workforce Development

Reach employers, workers, students and partners about your workforce programs.

Community Engagement

Explain projects and initiatives to the people who live and work in your community.

Social Media

Strategy, content, graphics, posting and day to day management, end to end.

Advertising & Lead Generation

Google, Meta and digital campaigns built around your priorities, with measurement.

Content & Creative

Concepts, copywriting, design, presentations and the everyday creative an EDC needs.

Websites & Digital

Strategy, messaging, landing and campaign pages, with dev support when needed.

Board & Organizational Support

Plans, reports and presentations that help leadership show the work.

Why Economic Development Experience Matters

You Shouldn't Have to Teach Your Marketing Team What an EDC Does.

Talented marketers are easy to find. Marketers who already understand economic development are not. The audiences, priorities and rhythms are different enough that generic help costs you time explaining the work.

Five years in this space. Marketers first, but we know enough to ask better questions and start contributing without your Executive Director teaching us the basics.

Experience

Five Years Working Alongside Economic Development Organizations

Ongoing marketing support for organizations that needed more experienced hands.

Snyder, Texas

Ongoing marketing support across business attraction, advertising, social media, community campaigns and creative.

Sunrise, Florida

Ongoing marketing support helping the city communicate economic development priorities and initiatives.

We're not a giant agency. We work with a handful of shorthanded EDCs that could use experienced marketing people who already get it.

The Financial Argument

More Marketing Capability Without Building a Whole Department.

A real marketing operation takes strategy, writing, design, ads, social, web, analytics and project management. Hiring all of it internally isn't realistic for most EDCs.

You get the people without the overhead, and we manage the moving parts so your Executive Director doesn't have to.

Got More Marketing Work Than People to Handle It?
