Include references. 4 Due to the competitive nature of the economic development business, it has been our policy to work with only one economic development agency at a time. Therefore, this list is not long. But, the benefit to the City of Elk River is that you will continue to have our undivided attention, and there will be no conflicts of interest. City of Elk River Economic Development Division (2004 to present). As explained in the introduction, we have worked closely with the City of Elk River for more than two years, providing a full range of marketing and communications services. Wright County Economic Development Partnership (2003-04). During 2003 and 2004, we worked closely with the Wright County EDP on a range of marketing and communications projects, culminating in the development of the organization's 2005 marketing plan. We conducted extensive competitive research in early 2004, gathering and analyzing data regarding 16 competing economic development agencies -including the Elk River EDA. That competitive analysis contributed to the marketing planning process. We also worked with the Wright County EDP on public relations and events, and facilitated the brainstorming session that resulted in the selection of the organization's new tagline, "Wright Next to the Metro," which is intended to convey that Wright County is closer to the Twin Cities than some prospective clients might realize. Chisago County Economic Development (2002). In 2002, we collaborated with Barsness Consulting Services Inc. on the development of marketing materials and preparations for Chisago County's participation in the Minnesota Real Estate Journals Metro East Development Conference. That work included planning for the County's participation in the conference, as well as the development of a bylined article to be published in a special section of the MREJ.
