Why Lancing Direct helps municipalities excel at economic development

Dreaming about the future doesn't end with childhood. As an economic developer, you have a dream for your municipality. Lancing Direct was created to help you make this dream a reality. We know that you serve your community because you want to help the people around you by developing your town in the best way possible. For Lancing Direct, helping you help businesses see their dreams through to fruition is what drives us. And we know that the people you serve are counting on you to provide for them and their families a place to work and play that not only meets their needs, but gives them a place to belong.

How Lancing Direct helps your community grow through municipal marketing

Lancing Direct empowers local government to communicate directly with the people who matter most to you: businesses and residents. The way you interact with the people you serve makes all the difference in your success as a governing body. That is why we offer our expertise and our passion for building healthy and growing communities and that is why we specialize in helping municipal government. We will work with you to meet your goals for municipal growth in the areas of economic development, attracting new residents and municipal branding and marketing. Lancing Direct uses proven business-to-business communication and promotion techniques that deliver results.

Our vision for improved communities

Can you imagine the far reaching benefits of achieving your economic development initiatives? The jobs you would create, the growth your town would experience, the lives you would touch. This is a powerful thing, and while this has been the government's job all along, it seems that now municipalities are getting much more sophisticated about how they go about doing this, and finding tremendous success as a result. It is our mission to help you establish a clear path in this process. We share a mutual goal in growing your municipality in a way that makes sense for the government who oversees the town, the businesses who provide the goods and services that keep things in motion and the people who live there. As you look through this website, consider the ideal economic growth for your town and create the possibility of something new. Contact us when you're ready to make big things happen in your town. We look forward to speaking with you!


Phillip Barnes, president of Lancing Direct

President's Bio

Through active membership in professional organizations such as the Direct Marketing Association and The American Institute of Graphic Artists, Phillip Barnes has had the honor of studying and learning from some of the best internationally renown marketing professionals out there today in the areas of graphic design, direct marketing, search engine marketing, mass marketing and business planning. After studying design and entrepreneurship in college, it was clear to Phil that owning a successful business that contributed something significant to the community was the obvious path to follow. Lancing Direct was born out of seeing a need for local governments to be proactive in reaching out to their communities and being intentional about growing them, but not having access to all the marketing tools that could help them. As president of Lancing Direct, Phil Barnes knows this is where marketing skills and a good communication strategy can transform the way municipalities grow.

"I have been asked why I created such a unique business dedicated to serving the local government, especially when my background is in marketing everything else from non-profits, industrial manufacturing and pharmacy. For me though, it's about truly making a difference, and contributing something to my community as I learned when I became an Eagle Scout in my youth. This is what's important to me, and this is why I have built Lancing Direct."
