Tampa Internet marketing services provider Bayshore Solutions was recently named Small Business of the Year by the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce. The company was honored for outstanding business achievements at an event held at the Tampa Convention Center.
The Tampa Web site design firm took top honors in the category of businesses with 51-250 employees. Bayshore Solutions isn’t new to the awards process. Due to its rapid growth and innovative service, the company has been a finalist in all three business size categories in recent years. The firm, which has grown by 235.6% in the past three years, was named the second fastest growing company in the area by the Tampa Bay Business Journal.
“It is an extreme honor to be named as Small Business of the Year,” said Kevin Hourigan, Chief Executive Officer of Bayshore Solutions. “We have worked hard to gain trust in what we do by our clients and the community. We know that diligent work, coupled with our clients’ determination to reach their online goals, is the reason why we’ve enjoyed such success."
The Tampa Internet marketing services company has received numerous other accolades, including being named:
- B-to-B’s Top 20 US Interactive Agencies
- Priority Magazine’s Small Business of the Year finalist
- Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Top 10 Web Development Companies
“All that shows is that we take a lot of pride in our work, and we do deliver for our clients,” said Bayshore Solutions Chief Operating Officer Doug Pace. The company’s work on behalf of clients has garnered many other honors, including Addy awards and recognition in prestigious publications such as Advertising Age and INC.
While some companies might be content with taking top honors for business achievements and an exponential growth rate, Bayshore Solutions is also committed to using its expertise to make a positive impact in the community. The company provides services that deliver measurable results for charitable organizations, including Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, the United Way and Metropolitan Ministries.
“Our services resulted in significant increases in donations and volunteer inquiries,” Pace said. Bayshore Solutions measures success in many ways, including the company’s ability to improve lives in the community.
“They’re such wonderful community citizens,” said Lauren Bryant, Vice President of insurance and risk management firm M.E. Wilson Company. “They are really enjoying great success in so many areas.”
Mark Holmgren, Executive Vice President of the United Way, agrees. Bayshore Solutions overhauled the charitable organization’s site to enhance its branding and improve communications overall. “The revised architecture of our new Web site allows us to keep all our community partners informed of United Way activities and resources,” said Holmgren.
As Bayshore Solutions continues to grow and serve the community, the Tampa Web site design company remains committed to helping all clients achieve interactive marketing success. Their continuing efforts are receiving broader notice.
In recognition of Bayshore Solutions' economic impact, the firm was recently nominated for another prestigious honor: the 2007 Governor’s Business Diversification Award. Nominated companies are evaluated for job growth, corporate citizenship and their contribution to helping diversify Florida’s economic outlook. By focusing on client success, Bayshore Solutions continues to find success of its own.
