Collaborative Growth Initiative Plan
Following a competitive RFP (Request For Proposal) process, the City of Cedar Rapids and its partners
in the Greater Cedar Rapids Metro engaged Development Counsellors International (DCI), a leading
place marketing agency, to develop a comprehensive marketing strategy to attract talent to the
region. The first phase of what is envisioned to be a multi-phase, ongoing initiative, this report
provides a robust data-driven research framework along with a tactical marketing strategy to ensure
that Greater Cedar Rapids can meet the current and future needs of its businesses by continuing to
grow the region’s pipeline of working-age individuals.
