Proud to be STLMade
When the STLMade initiative was founded in 2019, local leaders aimed to boost St. Louis’ reputation, starting in our own backyard. Hundreds of stories later, STLMade’s efforts to generate local pride have helped bolster how we see ourselves and showcase all St. Louis has to offer. Greater St. Louis, Inc. is expanding our regional storytelling and providing our people with tools to help them be even stronger ambassadors for the region and tell the world that St. Louis is an excellent place where you can start up, stand out, and stay.
What We Do
- Shape St. Louis’ narrative inside and outside the region.
- Steward the STLMade initiative as both regional pride campaign and national storytelling platform.
- Expand St. Louis’ national profile through thought leadership and media outreach.
- Empower ambassadors to champion the region in St. Louis and beyond.
The STLMade Movement
STLMade is the celebration of a region that insists on moving forward by bringing people and ideas together in bold ways, making this a place where residents, transplants, and boomerangs can get the support to start a business or a career, stand out and make an impact, and stay right here to do it all. Through storytelling, media outreach, and community events, we’re letting the world know that the St. Louis region is most definitely on the rise.
