The City Economic Development department is responsible for attracting, expanding and retaining businesses in the City of Vista. As part of these efforts, Economic Development staff regularly interact with members of the business community and, many times, discover inspiring, innovative stories about local business achievements that have a local, and sometimes global, impact. Economic Development staff also discover new and compelling industry trends and uncover data that makes a compelling story about the local business community at large. In an effort to increase media exposure to these stories, the City Economic Development department works with the City Communications department to share these potential stories leads with the media. To increase the efficacy of this effort the Economic Development department is seeking a Consultant to lend their expertise in writing positive business success stories worthy of media publication that the City Communications department can pitch to the media.
