RISING STAR WITH ALL-STAR ACCREDITATION

___________________________________

The All-Ireland Business Foundation has accredited AW Marketing Solutions

with a Rising Star Accreditation in Marketing.
—————————————————————————

[4th February, Dublin] The Accreditation is an outstanding achievement for AW Marketing as it
recognises their hard work and determination and predicts their future success.

Business All-Star accredited companies are defined as; progressive, indigenous Irish
businesses which meet the highest standards of verified performance, trust and customer
centricity.
This is an independently verified standard mark for indigenous businesses, based on rigorous
selection criteria. The accreditation is overseen by the prestigious All-Ireland Business
Foundation, whose adjudication panel is chaired by Dr Briga Hynes of the Kemmy Business
School at the University of Limerick and Kieran Ring, CEO of the Global Institute of Logistics.

Responding to today’s announcement, Amanda Whitmore, Owner of AW Marketing Solutions
says, “Having satisfied the auditing process over the past few months, I am absolutely
delighted to receive this Accreditation from the All-Ireland Business Foundation. I have
over 15 years of experience in marketing management and feel this Accreditation
recognises the hard work and dedication I have put into my career thus far.”

“I am excited to further develop my business AW Marketing Solutions and to join the
AIBF TRIBE where I hope to learn from the other members and offer my expertise to help
others achieve their business goals. During what has been a difficult time for many
businesses, it has never been more important to develop cost-effective marketing
campaigns that deliver real results for my clients. I look forward to the year ahead and to
adding value to a variety of new clients.”
Dr Hynes said the accreditation, which is now held by over 450 firms, is needed by the
thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards, but have
nothing to measure them by.
“We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak
to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as
a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two
interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics”, she says.
Amanda Whitmore is an experienced sales and marketing manager, offering support to
organisations who do not currently employ a full-time marketing manager or who require an
extra pair of expert hands for a specific task or project. She has a wealth of experience
spanning over 15 years within the hospitality and leisure, retail, construction, interiors and
insurance sectors within Ireland, the UK and the UAE. She has worked with varying sizes of
businesses ranging in turnovers from 500k up to €150m and can adapt to whatever budget you
have in mind for your business. The services offered at AW Marketing Solutions include social
media, web and digital, strategy, event management and customer retention.

The All-Ireland Business Foundation is a national body which accredits best-in-class Irish
businesses as Business All-Stars. The Foundation also oversees the All-Ireland Business
Summit while promoting peer dialogue amongst our members on an ongoing basis.
The process to select the next group of Business All-Star accredited companies has begun and
