Ady International Company Onsite Community Assessments

Like any business or organization, a community must have a singular voice and message when promoting its features and benefits to corporate decision makers, and your Economic Development Organization (EDO) must be that voice. It’s crucial that all messages conveyed through actions, publications, and other marketing materials via your EDO are coherent and unified. Opportunities are lost when EDO officers tell only part of the story to site selectors, emphasize inconsequential data, and/or offer conflicting opinions.

An Ady International Company Onsite Community Assessment will give you a quick and comprehensive appraisal of your EDO strategy, processes, organization, marketing, and performance goals. In addition, it will put your team through a typical location project: from initial contact, to community visit, and finally, the process used by site selectors to evaluate your data, your response, and your team. Services generally involve a 2-to-3 day onsite visit to your community that includes:

  • Meetings with your senior team
  • Discussions with your staff and/or board on strategy and organizing for results
  • Review of all marketing materials/approaches
  • Evaluation of available sites and buildings
  • Practical, actionable recommendations tailored to your specific needs
  • Responding to RFPs
