McKinley Marketing Partners Named Woman-Owned Business Enterprise of the Year in D.C.

Alexandria, VA, March 03, 2007 --(PR.com)-- McKinley Marketing Partners was named Woman-Owned Business of the Year for the DC area during an awards breakfast with the Women President’s Education Organization on March 1st, 2007. McKinley was nominated by two of its major clients, AOL LLC and Freddie Mac. The award comes the same week that McKinley landed on the Washington Business Journal’s list of Top 25 Temporary Staffing Companies in the Washington Metropolitan area for the fourth year in a row. 

McKinley’s CEO Michelle Boggs stated, “We are ecstatic with the recognition by the Washington Business Journal and the confidence our clients have in us which led to the Top Women Owned Business award this week! The icing on the cake is that we also witnessed one of our clients, AOL LLC take the award for the Top Corporation, also awarded by WPEO. AOL was in good company with many Fortune 500 companies that are also committed to working with woman-owned businesses.” 

Last year was the best year in McKinley’s history in terms of revenue but also in terms of client satisfaction. “We were excited to be nominated for the WPEO award by our existing clients but it is a bonus to be voted in by the network of our woman-owned business peers and corporate sponsors. Our team takes the WPEO events and Done Deal™ reporting seriously. The supplier diversity representatives at our client companies are some of our greatest supporters. This is really an exciting time in our business life.”

McKinley, set to launch an upgrade of their proprietary project and contact management system within the coming months, is supporting this client satisfaction with a newly formed client services management team. “We are a service-oriented company,” said President Marcia Call. “This is what we do better than our competition. Our foothold on the Washington Business Journal list and this award is great acknowledgement for the effort that our consultants and our team put forward.”
