Philadelphia Brand Toolkit
Philadelphia is where creative, determined, and collaborative people come to live, work, play, and make a lasting impact.
We’ve got a lot to brag about.
To help our region gain the attention and investment it deserves, we have to tell the world about it. And the most effective strategy for shaping how others see us is for everyone to use a similar narrative—sharing a proud, passionate, and consistent story with our neighbors around the globe.
The resources in this toolkit have been collected from stakeholders across the region to help you make a case for your own project or purpose. A shared and cohesive message will help us influence a new perception of Philadelphia, attracting investment and businesses, retaining talent, and empowering our communities with an identity that focuses on our promising future.
