Team NEO is proud to partner with ESPN Cleveland, one of the region’s leading sports broadcasters, to amplify the work we’re doing- alongside JobsOhio - to build a stronger, more vibrant economy across Northeast Ohio.   As a brand that lives and breathes teamwork and competition, ESPN Cleveland is the perfect partner - because economic development is the ultimate team sport. It takes collaboration, coordination, and a shared game plan to drive real impact.   Through commercials aired on 850 ESPN Cleveland, the ESPN App, and ESPNCleveland.com, this partnership will help us raise awareness of key initiatives, promote regional events, and keep a steady cadence of messaging throughout the year.   Together, we’re playing to win for Northeast Ohio🏆 Read the announcement here: https://bit.ly/3YtdGHP   #TeamNEO #JobsOhio #ESPNCleveland #NortheastOhioRegion #EconomicDevelopment #UltimateTeamSport #NEOGrowth #MediaPartnership #RegionalMomentum #VibrantEconomy #OneRegionStrong #NEORising
