Edge Multimedia helped client D.R. Horton overcome a large challenge – not being a company that was local to Portland, Oregon. Since moving corporate headquarters from Texas to Portland wasn’t really an option, we helped our client strategize on ways to show our hometown of Portland that they genuinely cared about being here.
