Greater Lansing Entrepreneurial Awards Musings

Well, the Greater Lansing Entrepreneurial Awards were earlier tonight at the Downtown Radisson in Lansing, and it was a very nice event.  Netvantage Marketing was in attendance.  We were nominated, but obviously we didn’t win, nor did we expect to.  We are still in our infancy as a company, and we were very surprised to have been nominated. (any time the culprit wants to admit it, please come forward)

At any rate, it was a good gathering of business minds.  We were very, very pleased to see both partners, clients, and those that have done projects for win awards.  Among those were Scott Mc Auley, McSquared Technology Group won, whom is a parter of ours, and as well as Jeff Detloff of Providence Consulting, whom are clients of ours.  We are very happy that two very deserving and long standing IT firms were honored.

Also honored as Liquid Web.  Frankly, I was shocked that such a company had not yet won. This is one of the fastest growing companies in Michigan, this is a company that is doing REALLY cool stuff.  And they are just now winning?  This is a company that takes a proactive approach to search engine marketing, managing it very well internally.  The real shame was that Matt Hill, CEO was out of the country, and Travis Stoliker Director of Marketing, was sick.  However, Matt’s Dad accepted, which was neat as well.  

In summary, great to see our partners, clients, and friends get honored tonight.  It was a very nice event, and great to see a lot of the business partners at the event that we have forged relationships with in our first 10 monts of existence.  No, of course we didn’t win, and as I said, nor should we.  However, I am very pleased to see us getting ingrained into the Lansing business community, and it is great to see IT companies in Lansing be honored for their hard work!

    I was pulling for you. You guys did a great job with our project and if you can survive this weakened economy, you’ll be living on top of the world within a few years.
