The Goodness Company has been selected as the recipient of the 2013 Illinois Excellence in Marketing Award. The Goodness Company was selected after consideration and evaluation of more than 500 industry peers by the US Trade & Commerce Institute (USTCRI).

Each year the USTCRI conducts business surveys and industry research to identify companies that have achieved demonstrable success in their local business environment and industry category. They are recognized as having enhanced the commitment and contribution of small businesses through service to their customers and community. The state of Illinois recognizes market leaders each year for their excellence in service and quality results.

The Goodness Company has consistently demonstrated a high regard for upholding business ethics and company values. This recognition by USTCRI marks a significant achievement as an emerging leader within various competitors and is setting benchmarks that the industry should follow.

As part of the industry research and business surveys, various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the selected companies in each category. This research is part of an exhaustive process that encapsulates a year- long immersion in the business climate of Illinois.

As the 2013 recipient of the Illinois Excellence in Marketing award, The Goodness Company recognizes that success requires strong team players and dedicated clients. “As The Goodness Company continues to grow, we owe our success to strong company leadership, exceptional team members and visionary clients that are willing to invest in quality branding and marketing,” says Patrick Goodness, CEO of The Goodness Company. “In today’s market environment, many companies was overnight results with minimal investment.
