Creativate, a dynamic marketing firm empowering clients with growth-focused marketing, sales, and service strategies, is thrilled to announce it has received national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise. This recognition comes from the Women’s Business Enterprise Council Ohio River Valley, a regional arm of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the top authority for certifying women-owned businesses in the U.S.
Michelle Miller, President and Founder, shared her excitement about this milestone, stating,
"Earning this certification as a women-owned business is a big accomplishment, and I'm proud to be a woman owned business. It represents not only a personal achievement, but also a commitment to empowering my clients with greater trust and credibility.
The certification process was both thorough and rewarding, underscoring the authenticity of our status. It’s exciting to see our network of inspiring and supportive women leaders grow, and we’re eager to continue uplifting others in our community."
The certification standards set by WBENC and administered by the Women’s Business Enterprise Council Ohio River Valley involve a comprehensive evaluation and a site visit. This process ensures that a business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, with robust business structures and strategic plans in place.
By choosing women-owned businesses as suppliers, corporations and government agencies showcase their commitment to diversity, empowering women leaders and fostering a balanced and sustainable economy.
WBENC Certification, combined with professional development opportunities and engagement within the WBENC network, offers unmatched growth prospects for women-owned businesses. These include events, programs, and connections with major corporations and other certified women-owned businesses.
