St. Louis Small Business Monthly’s annual Best in Business guide recently recognized Atomicdust as Best Marketing Firm in their 2015-16 issue.
Every year, the guide showcases top companies in 12 key categories, from Best in Reliability, to Best in Quality, to Best Law Firm, to our favorite: Best Marketing Firm. We were previously listed among the Best Marketing Firms in St. Louis in 2011, 2012 and 2013 (and named a Best Web Firm in 2014). Each time we received the news, we cheered, we high-fived, and we did what every humble marketing agency would do – we blogged about it.
Well, here we are again. Atomicdust is honored to receive another nod from St. Louis Small Business Monthly’s annual Best in Business guide – and to have come out on top for the second time.
In an interview with SBM, Atomicdust Partner/Creative Director Mike Spakowski revealed all of his secrets – or at least his advice for other business owners, as well as the smartest move he’s made with Atomicdust in the past year.
Mike told SBM that as a leader, it’s your role to look six months into the future. “Once you stop looking toward the future and where you want your business to be, you will find yourself on autopilot – stuck working in the business, rather than on the business.”
As for his smartest business move, Mike shared our decision to part with a client whose culture was negatively impacting our own. Maintaining positive, effective teamwork internally comes first. Without that, there’s no future for the business – no cheering, no high-fives, and nothing to blog about.
In the Best Marketing Firm section, Atomicdust was accompanied by finalists Brick47 Marketing, Boxing Clever, MSW Marketing and Stealth Creative, as well as a list of 27 other firms excelling in the industry.
Congratulations to all the 2015-2016 Best in Business winners and finalists!
