Destination Strategies Ltd. was established in 2017 by the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) consultant and author Dan Nicholls to offer a practical suite of services to Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) and Economic Development Organisations (EDOs) that bridge the divide between strategy and implementation.
We are inquisitive. We know that the best answers and solutions come from asking the right questions. Every location has something compelling and special to offer, and we make it our job to help our clients articulate, showcase and leverage their competitive attributes.
Corporate leaders and their advisors are increasingly blocking out the noise. They want to see and hear compelling cases that relate to their businesses. Our services are designed to help you identify how your location should best be positioned to compete for inward investment. Are you targeting the right sources of investment? Are there potential sources you haven’t considered? Is your offering aligned with the demand?
We also want our work to extend beyond the submission of a strategy document or a report. We want to get ‘stuck in’ and help bring your strategy to life. We believe in the rigour of our work and we’re eager to help you implement your strategy – whether that’s through an investor outreach and lead generation campaign, training and capacity-building, developing value propositions and other marketing materials, organising investment promotion roadshows, moderating events or helping to develop thought leadership content.
