Tempe, AZ, June 10, 2006 – The Edward Lowe Foundation, in association with and on behalf of the Arizona Small Business Association, has selected Sitewire, a leading direct marketing agency in Arizona, as a 2006 Arizona Company to Watch at the inaugural awards celebration held at the Arizona Biltmore on June 1, 2006. The Arizona Companies to Watch program was created to recognize and celebrate the contribution, innovation and energy of the wide variety of second-stage companies in the state. Of the 50 Arizona Companies to Watch finalists, Sitewire was honored with one of the five special awards recognizing their compassion for the community.

Sitewire works to bring qualified customers to clients through its marketing expertise by utilizing proprietary technology. Sitewire, one of the most prominent direct marketing firms in Arizona, has a common vision of exceeding the expectations of its employees, clients, vendors, investors and community. Beyond setting expectations to achieve company goals and to surpass customer expectations with an unparalleled level of customer service, Sitewire prides itself on the focus it places on its employees and community.

Culture Club is a cross-departmental team at Sitewire that was established to build unity, increase employee morale and appreciation, and to express core company values as an organization and give back to the community.

The Edward Lowe Foundation and Arizona Small Business Association joined forces to shine the spotlight on a vital, but truly overlooked, driver of the state’s economy—second-stage companies. To select this year’s finalists for the Arizona Companies to Watch award, The Edward Lowe Foundation, Arizona Small Business Association and a panel of judges evaluated growth in number of employees, impact of the business in the job market, increase in sales, current and past financial reports, innovativeness of the product or service, response to adversity, contributions by the nominee to aid community-oriented projects, as well as other measures.
