Campaign to reinforce Boeing's presence and economic
impact
OTTAWA, Ontario, Oct. 10, 2017 /CNW/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA]
today launches an intensive multimedia campaign to raise awareness
and understanding across Canada of
the company's significant presence and annual impact on the
nation's economy.
"Boeing contributes approximately $4
billion Canadian dollars annually to Canada's economic growth and development,
which is nearly 14 percent of Canada's entire aerospace economic impact,"
said Kim Westenskow, managing
director, Boeing Canada. "What we accomplish together benefits
Canada and the entire global
aerospace industry. It is a compelling story that is overdue to be
told."
The public outreach campaign will distribute detailed
information about the company's work with its 560 Canadian
suppliers, the more than 17,500 jobs supported in the supplier
network, the company's extensive operations with 2,000 employees,
and its substantial contribution to Canada's economy. Information will be shared
through traditional and digital media outlets.
"Boeing's partnership with Canada spans an entire century dating back to
when founder Bill Boeing launched
the world's first international mail service between Vancouver, B.C., and Seattle in the Boeing C-700," said Westenskow.
"Today, Boeing is the largest non-Canadian aerospace manufacturer
in Canada. We have close
partnerships with government, industry and customers in both
commercial airlines and the military. It is important that we share
this story with the people of Canada."
The first phase of the campaign will run on television,
traditional and online radio and across various digital
platforms.
