Grow your business.

The amazing things that happen when you market the place you do business just as much - if not more - than the business you do.
Where can I buy TOWN INC.
Town Inc. unpacks the deceivingly simple link between building a booming business and growing a prosperous place.
The secret, it turns out, is to market your town just as passionately as you market your own business.
In cities across America, business leaders are telling uniquely compelling stories to lure other businesses and a willing workforce to relocate to their towns. Their towns flourish and their businesses prosper.
What happens when you market the place you do business just as much – if not more – than the business you do?
“Town INC is less of a book than it is a rallying cry! You'll never look at any town or city the same way again.”
- Ann Handley, author of Wall Street Journal bestseller, Everybody Writes

The Law of the Cornerstone
Hamdi Ulukaya was born into a dairy farming family in Turkey. At the age of 22, Hamdi moved to Albany, New York for college and after graduation (and at the urging of his father) Hamdi started a feta cheese company in the town of Johnstown, New York.
The company he built over the next few years would become one of the largest privately-held companies in the nation. But more importantly, Hamdi's company would become a cornerstone for a plan to revitalize an entire county.
Hamdi proves the Law of the Cornerstone.

TOWN INC. on The Marketing Book Podcast
Douglas Burdett's take on TOWN INC.
Fascinating...
"In Andrew Davis fascinating book, he takes you on a road trip around the country and shows how a growing number of towns have instead focused on a specific niche, the genesis of which might have come from just one company. That niche then draws other complementary (and competitive) firms, a talent pool, a rich supply chain and higher than average incomes for the residents."
