Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry
One of the largest Chamber of Commerce organizations in Illinois, the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry creates opportunities while simultaneously connecting Chicagoland businesses, small and large. Since 1934, the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry has connected business, community, and government to promote a positive business climate in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. In 1989, the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry founded the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry Foundation to provide educational opportunities for community members. Programs include professional development seminars and workshops, scholarships, a business resource center, and support for young entrepreneurs.
When the Des Plaines Chamber had a temporary vacancy in its digital marketing work, Executive Director Andrea Biwer reached out to Rizzo Young Marketing LLC. Specifically, the Des Plaines Chamber needed to relaunch its social media presence, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Google My Business, Twitter, and Instagram. The Chamber also had a weekly email newsletter designed through Constant Contact, that wasn’t reaching its full audience. With Des Plaines being home to Rizzo Young, our team had local insight in tandem with the required social media marketing and email marketing skills needed to help the Des Plaines Chamber.
“Rizzo Young Marketing, LLC has been a wonderful partner and I highly recommend their marketing services for your business! The Chamber of Commerce started using them for our annual Career Fair and they helped us with ads on Instagram and Facebook. This helped our existing social media efforts to gain followers and people sharing the posts. We were able to reach over 65K people as a result of their efforts. Also, we are currently working with them on redesigning all our e-marketing (E-newsletters and other various social media sites, etc.) and they are doing an awesome job with seeing our vision and making it even better with their creativity!”
Rizzo Young Marketing LLC began by taking stock of the Chamber’s legacy. Having been around for nearly 100 years, the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce fashioned a rich history and countless mutually beneficial programs for the Chicagoland community. Rizzo Young endeavored to incorporate those elements into its social media initiative and email marketing campaigns, assuaging relationships of the past while concurrently connecting with those of the future.
