Economic Development

With 60+ years of experience leading communications programs for municipalities, associations, destinations and major events, our team understands the intricacies of working with organizations that impact the public sector locally, regionally and around the globe.

Franco is an expert in economic development communications. We’ve helped define the future of key industries, developed integrated strategies to attract and retain talent, promoted regions as top places to do business and elevated the unique stories of local communities. While a lot has changed since Franco was founded in 1964, we continue to thrive on the principles of traditional public relations, while embracing the power of data-driven, people-powered integrated communications.

Our long-standing partners can attest to our unwavering commitment to our team, our clients and the communities we serve.
