Telling the Comeback Story of the City That Never Quits
Summary
Buffalo’s not trying to reinvent itself—it’s reminding the world who it’s always been. Madden partnered with Visit Buffalo Niagara to shape a PR strategy that put the city’s creativity, grit, and heart front and center. Through national media placements, local storytelling, and a little Buffalo swagger, we helped shift the narrative from “Rust Belt” to renaissance—showing that this community doesn’t chase trends; it builds its own.
