Kids Want Ad

John L. Gann, Jr. citykid@uwalumni.com), President of Gann Associates, was born and raised in an older city neighborhood. He's written nine how-to manuals on how communities can market themselves for economic growth.

His How to Evaluate and Improve Your Community's Marketing published by the International City/County Management Association has been called the most "thorough and understandable dissertation on how to plan and put together an effective marketing campaign for an economic development organization."

John gets specific. He uniquely suggests on page 33 on the left and on pages 6, 23, and 30 how older cities can be persuasively marketed with print advertising.
