We are delighted to announce that Tribute Media has advanced from a Gold Tier HubSpot Partner to Platinum Tier.

For years, Tribute Media has been the only HubSpot partner agency in Idaho. Now we have joined the elite rank of Platinum tier with only 29 other partners worldwide!

Being recognized as a Platinum partner is an honor because it means we have proven our dedication to helping HubSpot customers in Idaho and beyond. We also pass along the benefit of our insights into HubSpot’s product roadmap and resources in delivering marketing solutions to our clients.

Last year we tested, and then made official, Office Free Friday. It's been a very cool thing for us as a company because it's provided us some much-needed focus time each week where our customers expect us to be a little less available.

If you aren't interested in clicking through to that announcement link, I'll give you the simple gist here. On Fridays, we officially close our office and our phones go directly to voicemail. It's still a working day, but because the office is closed, our employees have an option to work wherever they want.

For Immediate Release:

MERIDIAN, Idaho—

The Meridian-based web marketing agency, Tribute Media, has hired Sloane Bellante as its Director of Sales. In addition to conducting client consultations and representing Tribute Media at networking and community events, Bellante will be responsible for leading and growing the sales department.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MERIDIAN, Idaho--

Tribute Media is growing and launching a strategic partnership with The Marketing Minds.

Joining Forces

The Marketing Minds is a marketing company co-owned by Tribute Media's development manager, Norm Schurdell. After hiring Schurdell in August 2016, partnership talks began. With the alignment of The Marketing Minds and Tribute Media's goals, purpose and agile, consultative approach to marketing, the logical next step was to combine resources to the benefit of both businesses and their clients.

"We all thrive on great products and services in our continued pursuit to help build businesses around the world through effective & integrated marketing," Schurdell says of the partnership between the two agencies.

Tribute Media, a Meridian-based web marketing agency, has recently hired a new development manager to oversee web development projects and manage the company's team of web developers. Norm Schurdell relocated from the Sacramento, California area to bring 20 years of experience in graphic design and web development to the Tribute Media team.

UPDATE: Thursday, April 14, we attended the Best Places to Work in Idaho award ceremony. It was a lovely event that brought together many of Idaho's top employers. As if it weren't enough to be surrounded by so many amazing people committed to being employers of choice, we also had the honor of accepting the award for 5th place in our category! 

Each year Best Places to Work in Idaho awards several businesses in different categories the honor of being the best place to work. We are elated to announce that one of 2016’s winners in the category of Micro Employers (10 – 19 employees) was Tribute Media! We will now hold for applause and melodramatic adulation.

In my more than 20 years of employment, I have learned some key things about my own level of productivity. I've learned that in the morning I'm almost never very productive. I get a second (or third or fourth) wind as the day wears on. Sometimes I need a change of scenery. Sometimes I need to close the door and sometimes I need to invite others in to bounce ideas.

More often than not, I need a place that allows me to focus on what I need to focus on without the distractions of phone, email, people, etc. In fact, as I write this blog post, I'm not at the office. I'm away at an undisclosed location to focus.

BOISE, ID., (June, 2015) - Today, Tribute Media, a Boise based, nationally focused web marketing and design firm, announces its achievement of HubSpot's Gold tier as a certified agency partner.

Tribute Media became a HubSpot partner back in February of 2015, and has worked since then not only to become acquainted with HubSpot's tools, but to apply HubSpot's methodology and become experts.

Corey Smith, Tribute Media's Founder says, "we aren't partnering with HubSpot just to use their tools; we are applying their methodology to further our inbound practices. It has changed the way we do everything."

This achievement has been a culmination of the intense education of Tribute Media's entire staff, the result of which is every employee gaining at least one HubSpot certification, the majority holding two or more. Their Channel Account Manager, Sean Dazet, said of them, "they took HubSpot's methodology seriously. They moved exceptionally fast towards the gold tier and toward certifying so many employees."

Tribute Media, a Treasure Valley web design and marketing agency, has recently brought in a new intern to the development department. Taye Markwell is a high school student who was looking for an opportunity to gain experience in the web design and development industry and found the perfect opportunity in Tribute Media. In return, the Tribute team is thrilled to have such a smart, eager-to-learn young person to get us coffee!

In all seriousness, Taye will be an asset to our growing company. While he has started off by helping manage our servers, he will also assist our seasoned developers with building websites and handling support tickets

Boise, Idaho- Tribute Media, a Treasure Valley based web design and marketing agency, has recently added Robert Wulff as a new Digital Marketing Coordinator to their growing staff. Changes over the last few months have prompted them to expand their marketing department in order to cope with recent growth and new strategies.
