North Huron Township council unveiled the township’s new website at its June 17 meeting as well as a new destination video designed to advertise the municipality to both visitors and investors. The website was redesigned by Atomic North while the video was produced by Edifice Media. Economic Development Co-ordinator Connie Goodall explained that the website has become a more and more important part of the township’s first impression. “Five years ago, I had a lot of cold calls because we had our number and name on the website,” she explained. “More and more, however, the callers have done their research before looking into North Huron. They see and know what’s on our website. They do a lot of workbefore they pick up the phone to call us. We need our website to be able to help them decide to make that next step.” She said the website will speak for the township when someone is doing the research they need to before looking at North Huron as a potential place to invest. The video, which is similar to videos produced by several other local municipalities, was wellreceived by council, as was the new website. Councillor Archie MacGowan asked if the video was available on YouTube, and how the numbers were tracked. Goodall explained that they could, through Edifice Media, track how many views the video has and track their own usage statistics for the website. She said that, while North Huron does have a YouTube account, the videowon’t be posted there as it could become co-opted for other work there. The website and video are part of an initiative by North Huron township to brand the entire municipality and includes social media usage such as Twitter.
