Marketing & Communications
While research and analysis often stands at the core of many economic development initiatives, the outcomes these projects need to be communicated to stakeholders. Or sometimes the marketing or promotion of a community, region, or opportunity is a project in itself. Almost every project OMR engages in has a marketing & communications component, and as such we have built a specialized team to achieve results.

Grants & Advocacy
Project funding in economic development and municipal development is almost always a challenge. Over 90% of OMR projects are funded through provincial and federal grants. As such, our team developed a keen ability to identify and procure grant funding for clients. To date, OMR has helped clients procure over $10M in grant funding. This specialization in grants led to a number of fundraising and advocacy projects.
OMR doesn’t just work as your contractor, we work as your partner!
