The Greater Richmond Chamber held the 27th Annual IMPACT Awards Celebration Dinner
at the Richmond Marriott on November 12, 2014. The annual event honors businesses who have made an impact on their industries, communities and their employees.
Free Agents Marketing, a local marketing and advertising agency, was presented with the 2014 IMPACT Award in the small business category.
“Our company’s success comes from our strong culture, one that is built around integrity and collaboration, family and friends, fitness and fun,” said Ken Wayland, founder and president of FAM “Along the way, we work to nurture and inspire our employees every day to grow professionally, to make a difference within and outside our agency walls, and to deliver innovative strategies that enhance the brands of our clients. We have built a unique brand in Free Agents, and we are proud of this recognition from the Richmond business community.”
FAM makes an impact on their industry through year-round paid internships, onboarding programs and other professional development support. FAM empowers their full-time employees, and young professionals, with the tools they need to contribute not only to the success of FAM, but also to the success of their clients.
Free Agents Marketing has cultivated a commitment to their community by encouraging their employees to be actively involved in charitable causes through their community service projects.
