Marketing the region’s opportunities

RISE’s marketing initiative leads several marketing campaigns including Succeed in Savannah, a regional initiative designed to attract those outside Georgia to the Savannah area.

Through a coordinated strategy that includes a dynamic website, targeted social media outreach and a workforce tour, the campaign highlights Savannah’s thriving industries, career opportunities and exceptional quality of life. By showcasing real stories, community assets, and the region’s unique blend of opportunity and lifestyle, the campaign aims to inspire individuals from outside the area to make Savannah their new home and contribute to the region’s growing workforce.

Additionally, the Industry Insiders is a group of young professionals working in industries across the eight-county region who are passionate about inspiring the next generation. These professionals visit classrooms to speak directly with students, parents and educators about the many pathways to rewarding industrial careers. By sharing their own experiences and highlighting local opportunities, they help students see what’s possible close to home—and help families and schools better understand the skills, training and career options available in today’s workforce. Through these efforts, the group is building connections between education and industry while encouraging young people to explore the bright future waiting in their own region.
