Planning a statewide or Georgia regional impact story?
Georgia Tech has harnessed its resources to provide opportunities for Georgians—creating thousands of jobs, investing millions in startup businesses, and advancing industry throughout the state. It is this local impact that we aim to amplify as a pillar of our brand narrative.
When planning content, consider storytelling angles that illustrate the Institute’s commitment to our state, and highlight local story interests.
Local Impact
When interviewing story subjects, capture the following types of information that speak to local or regional impact:
- Scholarships received by students in a town or community
- Hometown(s) of students profiled
- Locations of Georgia-based companies
- Outreach to K-12 teachers and students
- Applied innovation for community benefits
Georgia Regions
When sharing a planned story, identify the region of Georgia your story applies to. This is helpful for media relations outreach to local journalists.
