Council for Entrepreneurial Development Names Ignite Social Media 2011 NC Company to Watch

The Council for Entrepreneurial Development (CED), a private, nonprofit organization that promotes entrepreneurial efforts in North Carolina, has named 25 winners for the second annual North Carolina Companies To Watch awards. Ignite Social Media was a proud recipient of the award, which honors growth-stage entrepreneurial companies that demonstrate high performance in the marketplace, exhibit innovative products or display other unique qualities that make them “worth watching.”

In his interview with CED, Ignite Social Media president Jim Tobin explains how he creates an environment that encourages everyone to participate in the creative process and retains such hard-working and dedicated employees. He also discusses how important it is that the company demonstrates its capabilities saying, “We’d much rather have someone come to our site and decide that we are smart than hand them a brochure that tells them we are smart.”
