Centresource’s Evan Owens recognized as a Nashville ‘Top 30 Under 30′
We are thrilled to congratulate Evan Owens from our team as a Nashville 30 Under 30 award winner this year.
Nashville’s Top 30 Under 30 recognizes the city’s most active young philanthropists while benefiting the CFF. Honorees were nominated by co-workers, friends and family for their charitable and professional endeavors. The top 30 honorees were then selected by the Top 30 Under 30 selection committee during the month of June.
“This honoree class has once again shown that Nashville is full of young professionals that care about their city. We hope the community will help the CFF congratulate and honor them by supporting the Top 30 Under 30 celebration in September,” said Top 30 Under 30 co-chair Anne Elizabeth McIntosh.
Tuned In: Centresource picks up a pair Telly Awards for online videos
Our downstairs fireplace mantel is getting a bit more crowded. We picked up a Silver Telly Award statuette for our work in creating the online video for the Two Futures Project.

CentreSource named one of Tennessee’s Hot 100
The weather may be quite a bit cooler than it was a month or so ago, but it is warm in our North Fourth office. Why? Because CentreSource was named as one of the “Hot 100″ by BusinessTN magazine. You can check out the story in the November/December issue (pg 24 to be exact) — which happens to be the very center of the magazine. Coincidence? I think not! Get it…centresource - centerfold. (hehe)

Winner of Excellence in Sales: Evan Owens
Before you begin to picture a door-to-door, truth-twisting, pushy and annoying sales guy, think again. Last week, I was honored to be named the top sales person in the Media and Advertising space. I have to admit that being called a sales person still irks me a bit.
When I first began at CentreSource, I demanded that the title on my business card be changed to “Solutions Consultant.” To this day, I have no clue what that actually means, but I would think it means I help people find opportunities and solve problems. In my effort to say something profound during the City Paper interview, I said, “We want to make sure we’re delivering the outcome the client wants, not just a list of deliverables.”
Interactive Strategy and Web Design Equals Recognition for Southwestern Company and CentreSource
In 2008, I had the pleasure of working closely for over 6 months with the nation’s oldest college summer internship program, the Southwestern Company, on their interactive strategy. And what a great relationship – the Southwestern Company is full of passionate people and sharp minds. And most importantly, the whole team was very keen on learning how to leverage the web in order to introduce their unique summer sales internship to new college students across the US.
In these six months, we were able to accomplish a load of work. We launched SEVEN new web sites, each with a unique design, strategy, and focus on a specific stakeholder. We focused on social media and multimedia as a means to engage new users. We dug deep into Search Engine Optimization to learn how to “be seen” at the right time by more searchers.
