Last week, BrandYourself was named the winner of New York’s Creative Core Business competition. With a $200K prize, it is the largest, privately-funded business award in the country. We could not be more honored or proud. We are not only the youngest team ever to win this award, but we are also the first team from Syracuse ever to win.You can get more details here and here.

We’ve had tremendous support from the entire community and we’re happy to bring this award to Syracuse.

What’s Next

The $200K is a nice boost to our business as we begin scaling. We now have over ten full-time employees and over the next 12 months we will be working hard on our mission: to be the easiest way to put your best foot forward on the web. Here’s what to expect
