The Nose: How Would You Market Hartford?

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Commodore%20Skahill/Colin%20McEnroe%20Show%2007-29-2011.mp3

Today on the Nose, we talked about the controversial $200,000 marketing report released earlier this week.

We heard a lot of your snarky (and genuine) suggestions via Twitter for how to rebrand Connecticut's capitol city. 
 
@ReubenClamzo: "Hartford: Two Hours From Everything You Want."
 
@charlesnobilski: "Hartford: History Worth Repeating"
 
We suggested "Hartford: The City That Actually Needs You" because we believe the city really is a special place. Small groups can make a big difference. Artists flourish in theater and music. Ideas take root in a way that's unique to any other city in New England.
 
Hartford is a community with thousands of people dedicated to making it a wonderful place to live.
 
The question we really should be asking ourselves is did we $200,000 to find that out?
 
Later in the show, we preview @heddahfeddah's upcoming media fast. The big kids over at Where We Live will interview her next Thursday.
