Our mission is to expand and diversify
Philadelphia's middle-income population.
Our goal is to inject social, cultural and economic energy to the city to enhance the city’s socioeconomic diversity, and generate greater economic stability and vibrancy across the city.
We are a domestic resident attraction marketing program. Through targeted messaging, ad campaigns, and branding strategies, we aim to direct visitors to our digital platforms where they can explore the wide range of career and life opportunities in Philadelphia, and thus better position Philadelphia's brand in the minds of young professionals and families.
