Case Study

Jacksonville, Florida Brings In Waves Of Talent From High Cost Markets

Economic Development

Background

JAXUSA had just completed its new talent attraction-dedicated website to profile the city’s career and lifestyle opportunities, featuring interactive tools like a cost-of-living calculator and cheeky neighborhood finder. But how were people going to find the new site, and how was Jacksonville going to elevate its own reputation among professionally-minded talent?

Strategy

DCI developed a strategic paid media plan that focused on two primary audiences — those living in higher cost markets and wanting to take home more of their paycheck; and those in nearby “feeder” markets that were looking for a career change. Using first-hand research on what motivates talent to relocate, DCI targeted both segments across search, social and display.

Between the website and advertising campaigns from DCI, people are taking notice of the perfect blend of character, scenery and opportunity here. And finding their JAX in the process. Lyndsay Rossman, Director of Marketing, JAXUSA Partnership
