TURN AROUND A TOWN: RED BANK RIVERCENTER

In the early 90s, Red Bank, NJ needed a facelift. Retail vacanies, high turnovers, and a stagnant downtown were all contributing to a shrinking local economy. The downtown lacked a clear identity, and few outside the area had even heard of it. But we saw potential, and began a multi-faceted marketing overhaul in 1990, partnering with Red Bank's brand-spanking-new Special Improvement District, Red Bank RiverCenter.

Like everything we do, we started with small, local businesses. Because your story is a great story!

Here’s how we approached Red Bank:

  • Start with Opportunity and Revenue: the Downtowner
  • Free Distribution, Great Design: the Truly Innovative Red Bank Welcome!
  • Make Downtown a Destination: Shopping Guides
  • Help Small Businesses Get Big: Cooperative Buys
  • Get This Town on TV!
  • Stop Your Car! Street-Spanning Banners, Bus Ads, and Direct Mail
  • Hot Downtown? Turning It Up With Red Bank Red Hot

Our collaboration with RiverCenter is now almost 15 years old. In that time, we've seen Red Bank become a media star and a model downtown for communities around the country. Marketing matters.
