The main things that Newcastle has going for it are lifestyle, history, community and tourism opportunities. New successful businesses can be built on combining at least two of these elements, and marketing them well to either entice new residents, or people to visit. There needs to be a less piecemeal approach, and more thinking about markets, what they want, and how those things can be delivered to gain benefit for the businesses delivering them, and the people who then rely on or service those businesses. Architecture tours, garden tours, obviously beach tours, and river tours are four tourist related things that just spring to mind. And that’s without trying. I hope the people undertaking the branding exercise are able to coalesce some key elements first, and build from here. But you’d need to win over the community first, I think. Good luck.
