    CANTON, OH, June 11, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pole Position Marketing, a Canton, Ohio-based Web marketing agency founded in 1998, received the Company Spotlight Award for Small Business last Thursday from the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Cleveland chapter during its annual Reach for the Top event. The award recognizes organizations in Northeast Ohio that demonstrate excellence in communication, support of the local economy and strong community involvement.

Pole Position Marketing was honored on the rooftop of Cleveland's Velvet Dog, one of the area's premier clubs, along with five other notable award recipients - Progressive Insurance (large business spotlight); Drink Local Drink Tap, Positively Cleveland and St. Malachi Center (non-profit spotlights); and Tony Alexander, president and CEO of Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp., who was named Communicator of the Year.

Stoney deGeyter, president and CEO, accepted the award on behalf of the agency. He says, "I know that many people think Web marketing is about technology. But, at its heart, effective Web marketing is about good communication and how it builds good relationships - between clients and agencies, between businesses and their customers, between brands and the people who believe in them. At Pole Position Marketing, we feel honored to be recognized for the quality of our communication, as well as the value we strive to bring to our customers and our community."

A search engine optimization specialist and prolific blogger for nearly 15 years, deGeyter frequently writes about importance of client-agency communication, as well as a wide range of website marketing topics. He brought Pole Position Marketing to Canton in 2009 and currently employs five inbound marketing and Internet advertising specialists.

As a group, the Pole Position Marketing pit crew has supported more than twenty local, national and global outreach programs and ministries with their time, talents and resources. In addition, the company regularly donates a percentage of its profits to The Soul Care Center, a faith-based coaching, counseling and training center in downtown Canton that assists the underserved, regardless of their ability to pay.

"Northeast Ohio is home to many notable companies and organizations supporting the local economy and giving back to their communities," says Stephen R. Clark, president, Cleveland IABC. "It is our pleasure to recognize these five that are standouts in delivering quality communications, creating effective channels to connect with their audiences, and demonstrating commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards. In short, they exemplify communication best practices."
