Opportunity

Kansas City has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform its national image from a centrally-located business destination to a prominent talent magnet for the best and brightest professionals, entrepreneurs and businesses. MBIT supports the work of KCADC and its partners to develop a marketing campaign that will redefine Kansas City’s image as one of the most dynamic U.S. cities with major publicity buzz and a compelling storyline.

The Creative Crossroads campaign is in full swing, and the two mayors have and should continue to play a prominent role in efforts to market the Kansas City area as an important technology center.
