the challenge
As economic development hit western Des Moines, investors largely ignored the City of Altoona, just to the east. They perceived it as a “small, sleepy town”, failing to see the potential just beneath the surface. But this wasn’t a boom waiting to happen: it was dawning right now.
the solution
MACLYN crafted an urgent, anthemic call-to-action – Altoona is Happening Now – that gave the city newfound swagger, awoke the development community, and sparked a revolution. Since brand launch, the city has become Iowa’s Rising Star. With 350 new jobs and $358 million invested in the community, Altoona is Happening Now.
