Branding Colorado

Bart Taylor of ColoradoBiz Magazine gives his take on the Colorado Blueprint, Governor Hickenlooper’s plan for energizing business and investment in the state. We think Taylor nails it in closing with, “We’re risk-takers, we’re independent, we’re leading edge, and we’re an emerging mecca for entrepreneurs. Colorado means business.” Check out Taylor’s full article which includes mentions of Wagner, Folsom and Icelantic skis, and outerwear brands, Flylow and Loki.And for those of you who are into Colorado being a great place for business and entrepreneurs, we recommend you not only read Taylor’s article, but also dig into the “bottom-up” economic blueprint.
