How Social Media is Engaging Local Entrepreneurs

Did you ever wonder why our local entrepreneurs chose Burlington as a place to do business?

We had the same thought in mind. As a part of our engagement with the Burlington Economic Development Corporation, we set our team on a mission. Make Burlington stand out, be unique and embrace social media as an unparalleled medium for networking and instant communication.

We designed and developed a new website which promotes Burlington as a great place to live and work using bold imagery as a common theme. The best part? It is uniquely interactive. The BEDC engages in conversations via Twitter, promotes their efforts on YouTube and encourages people to attend events by easily registering online.

To launch the new state-of-the-art website, we had a party. The invitees included local business owners, high-profile executives, board members, the Mayor and councillors – Burlington’s ‘stars’.

Each Burlington star was given the opportunity to tell us why “Burlington is the best place to do business”.

Intrigued? Take a look at the first 5 BEDC Stars here.

Of course, Martin was asked to give his two cents. Stay tuned for his video launching on the BEDC website soon!
