Leesburg Economic Development Debuts New
“Conversations About Leesburg” Marketing Video
Leesburg, VA (January 11, 2012) – At the Leesburg Town Council meeting last night, Leesburg’s
Economic Development Manager Marantha Edwards unveiled the Town’s latest economic
development tool. The seven-and-a-half minute video entitled “Conversations About Leesburg”
showcases the best of what the Town has to offer new and expanding businesses.
“We began with our award-winning business attraction brochure, which we converted to a
digital format last year, and took the logical next step of creating a marketing video,” Edwards
explained. “This video is centered around a group of business leaders in unscripted
conversation about why they live in Leesburg, located their business in Leesburg, or both.
Throughout the video, more than 25 businesses and individuals are featured, demonstrating
the variety and diversity of our business community.”
The full video has been uploaded to the Town’s website (www.leesburgva.gov/webcasts) and
the Town’s YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/TownofLeesburgVA). Copies will be
sent to prospects and featured businesses. In addition, a series of shorter topic-specific video
segments will be created for use in multimedia marketing efforts.
