20. MonticelloLive Earns “Business of the Year” Award (not because it was MLive, but because it was possible)
December 27th, 2011 by Joe Burgess
The fact that MonticelloLive was recognized as the Chamber of Commerces’s “Business of the Year” was an honor, but the reason that this headline made the Top 20 list, is because this achievement was possible.
With the economy being a national topic, and the public impression being that most new businesses fail, this award proves that a new business (in operation only 4 years), with a dedicated owner, a small support staff, and big dreams, can still “keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars”, as Casey Kasey used to say.
MLive has had 2.7 million page views in the past 12 months, and over 30,000 video plays of local news and events.
Several of it’s stories and videos have been picked up and aired by all 4 Little Rock television stations.
MLive has also been included in articles in Arkansas Business and Arkansas Times, but owner Joe Burgess considers it’s most prized achievement to be the “Business of the Year” award.
