BrandMuscle, Inc. Recognized for Outstanding Growth and Philanthropic Excellence
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 23, 2011
BrandMuscle, Inc., a leading provider of local ad customization software and services, was one of several prominent Northeast Ohio companies honored recently at The 2011 Crain’s Leading EDGE Awards at Cleveland State University. In its fifth year, this prestigious award was created by The Entrepreneurs EDGE to recognize value-creating, middle-market companies in the Northeast Ohio region. Recipients of the award were identified for their value creation in the regional economy, based on their EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) added to taxable employee compensation. Last year, BrandMuscle achieved its largest, single-year increase in new client acquisitions and grew its staff by over seven percent.
In addition to receiving the Crain’s Leading EDGE award for the third consecutive year, BrandMuscle was selected as the recipient of the Richard Shatten Civic Distinction Award. This award recognizes a Leading EDGE honored company that demonstrates a strong love for the region by giving back to the community. “There are a number of ways to measure a company’s success,” states Philip Alexander, president and CEO of BrandMuscle, Inc. “This award is especially important to us because it exemplifies the culture at BrandMuscle, something I believe is one of our most valuable assets.”
Each year, BrandMuscle employees collaborate to organize dozens of civic involvement opportunities for their peers. These activities have included food drives to benefit the Cleveland Foodbank, preparing and serving meals at the Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland, participating in cleanup events at Beech Brook, a facility for at-risk children, collecting shoes for Soles4Souls and prom dresses for area high schools, among many others. “Our employees are deeply passionate about making a difference in the community and I’m both proud and honored to accept this award on their behalf,” concludes Alexander.
