MMI Associates, Inc. Launches Social Media Campaign for Wake County Economic Development

Raleigh, NC, May 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Patty Briguglio, president of MMI Associates, Inc. (www.mmimarketing.com), a Raleigh-based full-service public relations firm, has announced that the firm has launched a social media campaign for Wake County Economic Development (WCED) (www.raleigh-wake.org). WCED, a program of the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, is the primary economic development organization for Wake County and its 12 municipalities. WCED hosts clients evaluating Wake County for possible facility locations each year and facilitates corporate expansions, resulting in new jobs and capital investment for Raleigh and Wake County.

MMI is rolling out a social media campaign for WCED that includes both blogs and audio podcasts that focus on issues affecting businesses in Wake County. The campaign also includes a new video series, called “Raleigh-Wake County Business Showcase,” that will feature a variety of locally-based companies that are continuing to grow and remain highly competitive during the nation’s current economic slowdown. WCED is also starting conversations about Wake County through the use of WCED Executive Director Ken Atkins’ Twitter page (www.twitter.com/KenAtkins). Atkins tweets about facts, tips and other useful information about Wake County and economic development. Together, these social media tactics serve as an extensive online resource for businesses considering expansion or relocation in Wake County.

“We are excited to roll out this social media campaign for WCED,” said Briguglio. “Through the use of blogs, podcasts, video and Twitter, companies considering expansion or relocation in Wake County will better be able to find information online about why Wake County is a great place to do business.”
