what cities can learn from marketers
DESCRIPTION
Over the past few decades, the demographics and psychographics of people have shifted. As has the world around through through the prevalence of technology, content and social communications. These factors have shifted what people look for when deciding where to live. As a result, cities are having to change the ways in which they plan their spaces, provide services and communicate with current and prospective residents. Assuming they want to remain relevant, that is. Marketers in the private sector have been doing these things successfully for hundreds of years. It is time cities learned a thing or two from marketers in order to use more modern tools such as big data and content marketing to attract and retain visitors and residents.

Marketers have learned to adapt.
They are forced to change their products and services, and change
how they communicate about them.

What Cities Think About
Attract new talent and residents Bring in new businesses Increase tax base Respond to needs of an aging
population Do more with less help from State
