Branding
Economic leadership begins with world changing ideas. And Utah ideas have changed the world. The television, the artificial heart, limb, and kidney, the computer graphics, word processing, and network industries all had their genesis in Utah. Stereo sound and digital media were Utah ideas.

To magnify these achievements we have launched a new Utah brand:

Utah!  Where Ideas Connect

We invite Utah entities to use our brand as a value-added trademark.

This brand is accompanied with five messages about Utah:

  1. Growing Workforce- Utah workers are young, dedicated and highly educated. Their numbers are growing at twice the national average.
  2. Education Oriented- Utah is producing more graduates than ever before from its 12 universities and colleges, including three major research universities. The state continues to lead the nation for investment in research and higher education.
  3. Tech Savvy- With thousands of technology companies thriving here, Utah is often ranked among the top high-tech hot spots in the country. Utah is also known as one of the nation's most wired states.
  4. Affordable- Thanks to low labor, energy, tax and lease rates, the cost of doing business is lower here than in other technology hot spots.
  5. Recreation Minded and Livable- Clean air and water. Free-flowing traffic. Safe communities. Stunning natural landscapes. And above all, the best recreation in the world.
We highlight a technology landscape as stunning as our natural one in these ads. Click on each thumbnail to view a larger image.
