Cayuga Cortland Workforce Development Board Chooses Purplegator to Promote Programs 

Cortland, NY: Cayuga Cortland Workforce Development Board (CCWDB) has awarded Purplegator, a digital marketing agency that lifts clients’ campaigns through targeted promotional strategies, to promote the CCWDB’s programs aiding disadvantaged youth. Purplegator’s campaigns will help Cayuga Cortland youth (ages 16-24 who aren’t working or in school) by making them aware of opportunities available to them through CCWDB (funded by a WIOA grant). To inspire the youth to think about their future, Purplegator’s campaign strategy includes aspirational imagery and positive messaging. The campaigns will encourage and motivate the maximum intended audience to see what program opportunities are available to them, with the ultimate goal of maximizing the number of WIOA youth applicants for the Cayuga Cortland WIOA youth programs.  

2022 Campaigns

Purplegator’s campaigns will promote the programs primarily through social media- specifically Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and gaming platforms. Over four months, each of ten unique campaigns will have a specific theme such as vocational exploration, career counseling, paid work experience, and more. There are many moving parts with a program of this breadth and scope.
