Holly Springs, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/28/2009 -- David Chapman, Founder and CEO of 919 Marketing, a nationally recognized marketing, consulting and public relations agency located in the Triangle, has announced the firm was named by the Triangle Business Journal as one of the 2009 Best Places to Work. The prestigious annual award is based on a survey given by Quantum Market Research that ranks businesses on their approach to human resources, workplace environment and overall company morale. 919 Marketing was one of 10 companies recognized in the small business category that celebrates business with less than 50 employees.

“There is nothing more rewarding than being recognized not only for the work you do but for the in-house culture your company has created,” said Chapman. “At 919, we feed off each other’s energy and work best as a group where everyone’s voices are heard and valued. Each member of the 919 ‘family’ understands that if we continue to deliver valuable, quantitative results to our clients’ bottom lines, their businesses prosper and so does ours.”

“These awards are a testimony to the good work done by businesses in the Triangle that recognize that their people are a company’s most valuable assets,” says Triangle Business Journal publisher Char Grunwaldt. “The emphasis on keeping workers happy and productive is clearly evident among these 30 winners.”

919 Marketing has seen record growth in revenue in 2009 and has continued to expand its list of notable clients from coast to coast, including Senior Helpers, Medism, BioSignia, State Water Heaters and Doctor’s Express. The company has also been recognized as a Top 100 North Carolina Small Business and has received national recognition for its blog, Opportunity Knocking.
