VISIT PHILADELPHIA Debuts Philadelphia Messaging Toolkit

Hoje, VISITE FILADÉLFIA^®, together with its Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR), launched the Philadelphia Messaging Toolkit to help local entrepreneurs and business leaders talk about Philly.

“We’re enlisting entrepreneurs and business leaders to join us in spreading the good news of Philadelphia’s vibrancy as a place to visit, work and play,” said Meryl Levitz, president and CEO of VISIT PHILADELPHIA. “As the region’s official tourism-marketing agency, VISIT PHILADELPHIA’s mission is to do this every day, but many others can help us tell Philadelphia’s story. The toolkit provides Philly facts and news for entrepreneurs to weave into speeches, talking points and conversations.”

In January 2016, VISIT PHILADELPHIA launched the EIR program—a first-of-its-kind initiative for a destination marketing organization—with Rakia Reynolds, founder and CEO of Skai Blue Media, a multimedia communications agency with offices in Philadelphia and New York City and regional, national and international clients.

“Philadelphia is a hub for entrepreneurs, small businesses, academic leaders and other innovators and changemakers, and we want them to be able to speak knowledgeably about their city,” Reynolds said, “The toolkit will help local entrepreneurs deliver consistent, creative messaging about the City of Brotherly Love.”

In addition to touting accomplishments and accolades, the Philadelphia Messaging Toolkit contains:

• Messaging about the Philadelphia region’s offerings
• Facts and statistics for presentations, decks and speeches
• Government and business resources
