The Bridgeport Regional Business Council, which represents 800 businesses and organizations, recently launched its redesigned website. The kickoff campaign culminates with a business networking event Nov. 10, 6 to 8 p.m., at the Trumbull Marriott.
“We are very excited about the redesign of brbc.org,” said Paul Timpanelli, president and CEO of the BRBC. “The new design allows us to support our members and the business community in new and exciting ways.”
Among the site”™s new features is a “Member Spotlight Video” section. Current “Spotlight” videos showcase three BRBC member businesses: Stratford-based Two Roads Brewing Co.; Schwerdtle Stamp Co. of Bridgeport; and the Trumbull Marriott. The videos were produced by Bridgeport-based American View Productions.
Website Republic of Trumbull designed the new site, working closely with BRBC staff and the organization”™s member-managed marketing committee. Committee members include Bob Abbate of Bob Abbate Marketing, co-chairman; Marcella Kovac of The Bananaland, co-chairwoman; Frank Borres of American View Productions LLC; Denise Bukovan of Housatonic Community College; Byron Campbell of Firelight Media Group LLC in Trumbull; Linda Holmes-Hannon of Homewood Suites by Hilton; Caryn Kaufman of Caryn Kaufman Communications LLC in Milford; Roger Salls of Roger Salls Photography in Stratford; and Jon Sinish of Sinish Marketing Communications in Stratford.
“The redesign of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council”™s website was a huge undertaking and one we could not have done without the help of our committed and engaged member businesses,” said Jocelyn Paoletta, director of communications for the BRBC. “From concept to creation, this (marketing) committee worked hard to help us deliver a new platform to showcase member businesses, the BRBC”™s mission and our work plan to support economic growth in the greater Bridgeport region.”
The effort”™s business supporters included Larry Janesky”™s Basement Systems in Bridgeport, United Bank, the Trumbull Marriott, Business New Haven, the Fairfield County Business Journal and the Connecticut Post.
