Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications \u2022 Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership<\/p>\n
Morgan Almeida wants Baton Rouge to tell a better story about itself\u2014and she has helped give it the tools.<\/p>\n
At the Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership, she developed and launched Better in BTR, a community pride and talent attraction campaign whose creative storytelling has earned multiple Addy Awards. Its ambition extends beyond recruiting newcomers: helping people already here recognize a place worth staying.<\/p>\n
She also led the organization\u2019s transition from the Baton Rouge Area Chamber to the Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership, aligning its identity with its regional mission. An overhaul of its website and marketing tool kit strengthened how it competes for economic development projects.<\/p>\n
Almeida brings that same instinct for connection to civic life. As Forum 225\u2019s former president, a co-organizer of TEDxBatonRouge and an Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge board member, she has helped create platforms for young professionals, ideas and culture.<\/p>\n
How I recognize a great hire: \u201cIt\u2019s more a question I ask myself: Does this person make me excited to think out loud? In a creative field, I not only need reliable execution, but also someone whose energy makes it easy to brainstorm messy, half-formed ideas and get excited about what they could become.\u201d<\/p>\n
Something I\u2019m surprisingly good at: \u201cCreating very specific themes for parties. Give me a birthday, a baby shower or a random excuse to celebrate and I will develop an unnecessarily detailed theme and commit to it completely.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications \u2022 Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership Morgan Almeida wants Baton Rouge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675071,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[72,191,61,60],"class_list":["post-675070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entrepreneurship","tag-business","tag-entrepreneurship","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675070\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
