Jennifer Maggiore Named One Of Arizona Republic’s 35 Women Entrepreneurs Under 35

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 29, 2009 -- AZ Magazine, and its parent publication, Arizona Republic announced its list of 35 Women Entrepreneurs Under 35 in late October. The honor is awarded to women business founders and owners who have a proven track record of performance with promise for additional growth in the future. This includes contributing to Arizona’s economy, creating new jobs, innovations in product / service offers and excellence in customer service.

“I’m thrilled to have been recognized with this award”, says Jennifer Maggiore, President & CEO of Maggiore Consulting & Marketing, “we work very hard each day to innovate in marketing through Social Media and integrated media for our clients.

Maggiore founded her business as a single traditional marketing consultant in 2005. After a year-long consulting stint with an interactive agency, she repositioned her business to concentrate on Social Media, which she adamantly felt was the next innovation in relationship based marketing, “I knew that consumers were getting more sophisticated and were tired of run of the mill advertising. I can’t stand it when my favorite Television shows are interrupted by commercials irrelevant to me- so I DVR shows and skip the commercials. I much prefer building two-way relationships with the brands I’m a fan of. Consumers today want to pull the information they are looking for, not have it pushed on them. They want to investigate and interact prior to making purchasing decisions. Social Media is the vehicle for making highly relevant, well targeted marketing messaging available to interested prospects”.

Maggiore expanded aggressively this year despite challenging economic conditions, hiring 4 people in spring 2009, creating multi-media partnerships with blog providers, radio stations, and Social Media site executives and community managers, and is projecting 3 times its 2009 sales in 2010. Maggiore has been featured on Jan D’Atri’s radio show, on KWSS 106.7, in FuelNet Monthly and is regularly featured in the Phoenix Business Journal. She is the co-founder of SocialMediaInA Carton.com, a “do it yourself” series of instructional DVDs and books on Social Media topics, an accomplished blogger and speaker, and has spoken for Intel, the University of Phoenix, Arizona Small Business Association and more.

Maggiore founded Maggiore Consulting & Marketing in 2005 to meet the needs of businesses looking for fresh and effective ways to market their businesses online, include Search Engine Optimization, Wordpress sites and blogs, Social Media marketing, education, management and measurement. Clients include the Arizona Small Business Association, Jan D’Atri, Phoenix Blues Society, and industries served include radio, healthcare, medical devices, retail, self-help, real estate, restaurants, hospitality and more.
