Per Granström Per Granström Partner, Delphi

We were lucky enough to be able to catch up with Kian Kamas, Chief of Economic Development at the Mayor's Office in the City of Tulsa to discuss her views on the latest trends impacting on the landscape of economic development in Canada and the USA.


CNP: What do you consider to be the biggest challenge facing place branding and marketing teams working for cities, states and places across the USA and Canada?

KK: For mid-sized cities like Tulsa, the greatest challenge may be the lack of any brand or perception among potential visitors, investors, residents, etc. While this means that our target audience may not have any negative stereotypes we have to overcome, it also means that we have to build up a significant amount of awareness about what Tulsa provides to each audience.
