MILTON — Santa Rosa County is looking to make business connections with the launch of Amplify Santa Rosa, the county’s new communication platform.
Amplify Santa Rosa, part of the Economic Development Office’s five-year economic development campaign, is a "digital ambassador" program designed to take the power of word-of-mouth to the digital level. Through this program, the EDO will be recruiting individuals whose connections in industry or profession may be relevant to economic development in the county.
Amplify Santa Rosa members will be able to share ideas and suggest ways to promote economic development in Santa Rosa County. They'll do so by sharing on social media and receiving suggested posts and links from a regular email.
Shannon Ogeltree, director for EDO, said that this was a great thing for Santa Rosa County.
“Sometimes we get left out of the media,” he said. “Amplify Santa Rosa will help us get more information out there.”
Kristen Rhodes of the Gulf Breeze Chamber of Commerce said that this can have a great impact on Santa Rosa.
"We never know what ripple effect might come from even one post, who that might reach, and how that could help influence their decision to bring their business to Santa Rosa County," Rhodes said.
