The .id Solution
.id took a different approach to previous economic profiles by developing an economic story for Toowoomba. This approach is designed to promote the region to investorsby telling the economic story rather than repeating factual statements and presenting data. Instead, we tailored the story to the audience and effectively used charts, tables and maps to complement a narrative that identifies the unique characteristics of the local area.
