Netvantage Marketing Celebrates 3 years of Success By Giving Back

East Lansing-based Netvantage Marketing will celebrate three years of business with the 2011 Netvantage Open benefiting The Hero Foundation. The event will take place Thursday, May 12 at 5 p.m. at Hawk Hollow, a natural grass putting course. All proceeds will go toward pancreatic cancer research.

"We have been very fortunate to have been surrounded with great partners and clients over these past three years, said Netvantage managing partner Joe Ford. "We started Netvantage in the depths of the recession and their support has been huge in our growth and success."

Netvantage Marketing has enjoyed continued success since they were founded in May of 2008. Since then, the company has grown from two employees to 10. Sales revenue in 2010 was up 115 percent and current year to date revenue growth is up 32 percent.

In 2010, the firm received the Greater Lansing Business Monthly Emerging Entrepreneurial Award. They currently have 34 clients on retainer and have completed over 115 search-marketing projects. The firm expects continued growth with the hopes of adding 3 more full time employees by the end of the year.

"As someone who never looked in the mirror and saw an entrepreneur, I can say three years in that starting this company is one of the most rewarding things I've ever done," said managing partner Adam Henige. "It's been educational, enlightening and for the most part a really good time. I like what I do every day and it's a real pleasure to work with so many great clients and help them succeed."

Netvantage Marketing recognized this celebration as an opportunity to give back. The event will benefit the Hero Foundation for pancreatic cancer research.

"The Hero Foundation is a cause near and dear to my heart," Henige said. "It was started by my good friend Katie Larsen after her father beat the odds and survived pancreatic cancer a few years back.  Having the chance to celebrate three years in business and raise money for this great cause is a win-win situation I'm glad we can contribute to."
