Digital Marketing Inspires Talent to “Move Upstate SC”
Economic Development
Background
Located in the heart of the booming Charlotte-Atlanta corridor, the fast-growing 10-county region was in need of talented and skilled individuals to fill thousands of job openings in specialized occupations. The region had just launched a design-forward and conversion-optimized talent attraction website, and wanted to attract talent from outside the region to the site to showcase both the region’s lifestyle amenities and, most importantly, its job openings.

- The paid campaign generated 4,471 job views on the website through a custom Indeed.com integration.
