Portfolio Creative Wins Small Business Leader Award

Recognizing changing market conditions is one skill. Adapting your product or service offerings to them successfully is quite another. The difference can be pretty stark, as in the cases of traditional book sellers or video rental stores. Some of these companies learned to evolve while others did not.

One company that has navigated changing times successfully is Portfolio Creative, the nation’s fastest growing creative staffing firm. As a result, the company has been named the winner of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Leader Awards in the “Adapt & Innovate” category. The event took place on November 15, 2011 in downtown Columbus.

“Temporary staffing is all about flexibility, so operating a business that could quickly respond to challenges and reinvent itself as needed came naturally to us,” said Catherine Lang-Cline, co-owner and founder. “We pride ourselves on customer service. By listening to our customers, we’ve come up with several new service offerings over the years that have made their jobs easier. We’ve been willing to significantly change our brand and services if it helps our clients and talent.”

For the first time this year, the Small Business Leader Awards recognized companies in the areas of Diversity Leadership, EcoBusiness, Young Professional Leadership, Emerging Excellence and Adapt & Innovate.

Since its founding in 2005, Portfolio Creative has filled over 1,900 filled assignments in creative positions of all types, including design, communications, copywriting, marketing and advertising.
