CHICAGO, June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rise Interactive, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Quad and one of the top performance
marketing agencies in the world, is partnering with 50,000feet and
P33 to attract and retain top-tier tech talent back to Chicago.
This first-of-a-kind initiative, which is online at
https://gotechchicago.com , connects mid-career, cream-of-the-crop
tech talent by providing visibility and access to high-caliber
networking and lucrative job opportunities at Chicago's most innovative startups and
corporations.
"Chicago is uniquely positioned
to serve as a global leader in technology and business innovation.
With three of the nation's top universities, a strong history of
corporate tech investments, and a cost of living unmatched by other
large U.S. metropolises, the city is an ideal home for young tech
talent," says Erin Amico, CMO of
P33, a nonprofit focused on making Chicagoland one of the best
places to work in tech. "The opportunity now is making sure that
tech professionals across the country see the value in starting and
building their careers here. Rise, our agency leading the charge on
digital communications, is poised to exceed expectations in
targeting and nurturing our audience."
"Rise is eager to invest in the growth of Chicago's tech community, especially as it
relates to profiling Chicago as
one of the most diversified and inclusive tech ecosystems in the
country," says Larry Fisher, CEO of
Rise Interactive. "The remarkable vision of the leadership at P33,
paired with the innovation I already see with teams at Rise, should
make local leaders in business very excited for Chicago's future."
"Rarely do you get the opportunity to be a part of such an
important initiative for the city in which your company was born.
50,000feet is honored to serve as a creative partner to help bring
the best and brightest talent back to Chicago," shared Braden Kline, Account Director at 50,000feet.
"The resources, enthusiasm and collaboration by so many incredible
institutions and startups in Chicago speak to our collective
commitment—we're very proud to be part of this important
initiative."
This significant investment in Chicago's economic growth comes shortly after
Rise's 2020 announcements of rebranding and an expanded leadership
team, signaling a launchpad for the company's growth in 2021.
"Rise clients know we're experts at leveraging digital to drive
brand awareness, and we're eager to make the Chicago tech economy our next client," Fisher
says. "We look forward to building on our history of success in a
lasting way for this great city."
