Strategy 3<br />
National Marketing Program<br />
BRAC aggressively marketed the <strong>Baton</strong> <strong>Rouge</strong> area with succinct,<br />
relevant messages to national and international site-selection and relocation<br />
professionals throughout 2009. BRAC’s marketing mix included targeted,<br />
creatively-designed advertising and direct marketing materials; valuable trade<br />
show and conference attendance; and a far-reaching public relations campaign. BRAC’s marketing<br />
efforts created a prospect pipeline of an average of thirty-eight prospects/month for the year.<br />
In every month of 2009, BRAC spread the message about the region’s economic prosperity<br />
and aggressive tax incentive programs, among several other benefits. Eight national, industry-specific publications<br />
were selected for this advertising, including <strong>Area</strong> Development, Business Xpansion Journal, Trade & Industry<br />
Development, and The Wall Street Journal. The use of online banner ads and Google pay-per-click listings served<br />
as cost-effective supplements to the print advertising.<br />
The growing digital media industry was frequently marketed too. Branded as <strong>Baton</strong> <strong>Rouge</strong><br />
<strong>Area</strong> Digital Industries Consortium (BRADIC), the promotional pieces developed by<br />
BRAC included an ad in the annual Game Developer conference magazine and<br />
a tri-fold, full-color direct marketing brochure with case study insert.<br />
The latter highlighted the substantial incentives now available<br />
to digital interactive media companies with operations<br />
in Louisiana and was mailed to nearly 500<br />
targeted digital interactive media business<br />
executives nationwide.<br />
Members of BRAC’s business<br />
development team attended<br />
multiple industry trade shows and<br />
conferences: the <strong>Area</strong> Development<br />
Consultants Forum; Blane, Canada, Ltd.’s<br />
Synchronist Users’ Forum; CoreNet Global<br />
Summit; Engage! 2009; Expansion Management<br />
Consultants Roundtable; Game Developers Conference;<br />
International Economic Development Council annual<br />
conference; Louisiana Industrial Development Executives<br />
Association annual meeting; National Plastics Expo; SIGGRAPH;<br />
Site Selection Network Conference; and Southern Economic<br />
Development Conference.<br />
Public relations efforts not only resulted in hundreds of regional articles<br />
about BRAC’s work and/or economic development in the Capital Region, but<br />
also an impressive number of high-profile stories in many distinguished national<br />
publications. Among the topics covered were the emerging life science and digital<br />
media sectors in the <strong>Baton</strong> <strong>Rouge</strong> area and the region’s strong economic performance<br />
during a national recession. Such stories were featured in acclaimed sources including<br />
American City & County, <strong>Area</strong> Development, BioBusiness, BusinessWeek, Business Xpansion<br />
Journal, CNNmoney.com, The Economist, MSN.com, and the Washington Examiner.<br />

Strategy 7<br />
As BRAC’s 2009 economic survey showed, an educated, highly-<br />
trained, and skilled workforce is vital to the competitiveness<br />
of our region’s economic development efforts. Through its<br />
regional learning community initiative, BRAC advocates for<br />
high-quality educational institutions and programs that increase<br />
the capabilities of the <strong>Baton</strong> <strong>Rouge</strong> area’s workforce.<br />
BRAC actively took part in the recruitment and research of potential<br />
candidates for the new East <strong>Baton</strong> <strong>Rouge</strong> Parish (EBR) school<br />
superintendent. First, we persuaded the EBR School Board to conduct<br />
a national search and followed that up by assembling teams that<br />
visited each of the cities of the finalists. A welcome reception for the<br />
new superintendent, John Dilworth, by the business community took<br />
place in May.<br />
Early in the year, BRAC endorsed Louisiana Department of Education<br />
Superintendent Paul Pastorek’s recommendation to place eight of twelve<br />
academically unacceptable schools in the state’s recovery school district.<br />
Later efforts surrounding public education included partnering with the<br />
mayor-president, the district attorney, and sheriff to construct a truancy<br />
taskforce dedicated to tackling the truancy issue in EBR.<br />
BRAC publicly supported two higher education-related bills during the 2009<br />
session as part of its legislative priority to ensure the competitiveness of<br />
Louisiana’s research universities. While neither successfully passed then, the<br />
legislation did, however, go further through the process than ever previously<br />
achieved and will remain a key aspect in 2010. The issues of developing a<br />
performance-based funding formula that prioritizes research and workforce<br />
needs and granting higher education institutions with the ability to adjust<br />
self-generated revenue without two-thirds majority legislative approval live<br />
on, and BRAC continues to actively advocate for both.<br />
Together with GNO, Inc., BRAC formed the Southeast Super-<br />
Region Committee (SRC) in 2009. Through this unprecedented<br />
partnership, BRAC urged the Louisiana Postsecondary Education<br />
Review Commission (LAPERC) to set specific goals for<br />
developing a preeminent higher education system in the state.<br />
The local Workforce Investment Board (WIB) garners much<br />
support from BRAC. In order to improve the workforce delivery<br />
system in our region, BRAC worked with the WIB to formulate a<br />
vision for how the WIB can evolve in 2010, successfully advocated<br />
for the appointment of a new, business-led majority on the WIB,<br />
and facilitated beneficial conversation between the local WIB<br />
and the leadership of the Louisiana Workforce Commission.<br />

FuturePAC<br />
BRAC’s political action committee, FuturePAC, actively served its mission to support issues and candidates<br />
that promote economic development in the <strong>Baton</strong> <strong>Rouge</strong> area in 2009. Having maintained its “Big PAC”<br />
status (250+ members) since 2006, 2009 again allowed FuturePAC the ability to contribute twice<br />
the amount of contributions as regular PACs to candidates it chose to endorse.<br />
FuturePAC first exercised its Big PAC status contribution ability in the first quarter when it<br />
publicly endorsed all three candidates who ran for state senate in District 16. All three<br />
candidates were in alignment with FuturePAC’s goal to improve the business climate<br />
and competitiveness of the Capital Region.<br />
Following suit to engage on top economic development issues that<br />
are placed on public ballot, FuturePAC endorsed the Central<br />
Community School system’s tax proposals in the second quarter –<br />
all of which successfully passed – and again in the third<br />
quarter when it began a multi-month promotional<br />
campaign focused on its strong endorsement of<br />
the East <strong>Baton</strong> <strong>Rouge</strong> Parish bond election.<br />
Also in 2009, FuturePAC<br />
commissioned a survey in<br />
order to measure regional residents’<br />
sentiments toward the proposed loop.<br />
At a FuturePAC press conference in May, the<br />
overwhelmingly-positive results in favor of a loop<br />
being constructed were unveiled to the public. FuturePAC<br />
first endorsed the development of a <strong>Baton</strong> <strong>Rouge</strong> loop in 2008<br />
and will continue to advocate for its development.<br />

With high-quality, productive work comes<br />
positive momentum and, opportunely, valuable<br />
acknowledgement and recognition. In 2009,<br />
BRAC was honored to receive fifteen esteemed<br />
awards from national and international<br />
communications and/or chamber/economic<br />
development related organizations. Of the<br />
fifteen, three were granted by the Southern<br />
Economic Development Council (SEDC) for<br />
