Stratus Interactive of West Chester – designer of the Kimberly Clark “Right Start, Clean Finish” ad campaign – has been named a Blue Ribbon Small Business Award winner by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The company will be recognized June 11-13 in Washington D.C. during the 10th annual America’s Small Business Summit sponsored by the U.S. Chamber. The annual awards program recognizes companies for their dedication to free enterprise, restoring jobs and supporting economic growth. Stratus Interactive was selected for demonstrating exceptional business practices in strategic planning, customer retention, employee development, community involvement and customer service.

“As with all our campaigns, we believe in an integrated and holistic approach to marketing,” said Kymberly Robinson, chief executive officer of Stratus Interactive.

“The fact that our work was recognized amongst the many talented businesses and organizations involved is truly an honor,” she said. “We see results every day for our clients, and love that we’re able to share these results, and be recognized for them. Our success comes from the personal relationships we’ve established with our clients – built on a mutual foundation of communication, trust and transparency.”

The firm’s diverse clients include Boxcar Brewing Co., the law firm MacElree Harvey, Wesley College and Empathetics.

Stratus Interactive integrates art, technology and marketing as it manages branding, advertising and website development for its clients. The firm believes its collaborative culture and passion for results helps clients develop mutually beneficial relationships with their customers, driving long-term growth and success.

“As the business community has worked hard to do its part in moving the country forward economically, small businesses have continued to be the driving force responsible for much of our progress,” said Thomas J. Donohue, U.S. Chamber president and chief executive officer. “Our Blue Ribbon Award winners are the best of the best – growing and succeeding despite significant challenges.”

The Rochester, N.Y. firm American Customer Exteriors and Interiors won the top honors among East Coast businesses. Stratus Interactive and all Blue Ribbon award winners will be honored during the June summit.

The U.S. Chamber represents more than 3 million businesses, state and local chambers and industry associations.
