Places & Business
- Engaging with business and understanding what they think about the place you represent, the services you provide and what needs to improve – developing strategies and action plans to achieve that improvement
“The Place Marketing Company – now Business & Place – delivered several inter-related projects in 2006 and 2007 on the perceptions of Dorset as a business location and advised us on how to respond to those perceptions. Still, in the second half of 2010, the work is referred to and shapes attitudes and action across the county. They helped us engage with both the business community and the local community and to understand what we need to do to improve the perception of Dorset as a business location. I recommend their support and their services”
David Walsh, Economic Development Manager, Dorset County Council
