The Challenge
The City of Belmont and Downtown Belmont each serve the same community, but with different audiences and goals.
The City needed to communicate important government information in a way that was timely, approachable, and easy for residents to understand. Downtown Belmont needed engaging content that celebrated the community, promoted events, and encouraged people to visit and support local businesses.
The challenge was creating distinct voices for two organizations while maintaining a cohesive community identity.
The Strategy
Imagine developed separate content strategies and editorial calendars tailored to each audience.
For the City of Belmont, content focused on:
- Public information and community updates
- Parks & Recreation programs
- Public Works and infrastructure
- Budget and City Council updates
- Community resources and services
- Educational “Did You Know?” posts
For Downtown Belmont, content highlighted:
- Community events
- Seasonal promotions
- Dining and shopping experiences
- Family-friendly activities
- Local businesses
- Main Street events and celebrations
Every graphic and social post was designed to reflect Belmont’s established brand standards while remaining easy to read and engaging across social platforms.
