Awards, Certifications & Key Partnerships

Although we don’t like to toot our own horn (ok maybe a little), this is the place to find all of Anvil’s shining achievements. We’re certified in all the right places, have won awards for our outstanding SEM performance, and been recognized by various organizations and publications. Details below.

Awards & Recognition

We know it’s not the size of the trophy case. It’s what’s in it that really counts.

For two consecutive years running, Anvil Media’s social media strategy implemented by Provenance Hotels has resulted in wins at the Social Media awards.

ROI is always top of mind for Anvil Media and our clients. AMA Oregon recognized Anvil with the Best ROI Campaign Award, a big win for our trophy case.  President and Founder, Kent Lewis, was also named AMA Marketer of the Year in 2012 for his dedication to the industry.

Anvil has been on Portland Business Journal’s Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies list for 5 straight years, earning the Lighthouse Award.  Other honors from the Portland Business Journal include being named Most Philanthropic Company.

PPC Hero named President and Founder, Kent Lewis, to its list of Top 25 Most Influential Pay-per-Click Experts.

Anvil received the Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility as one of the top 25 companies for workplace                                 flexibility in Oregon.

Anvil was named one of the Inc. 500|5000 Fastest Growing Companies in both 2011 and 2012. The Inc. 500|5000 list ranks the top privately-held companies in the country based on 3-year revenue figures, along with other factors. Read our Inc. press release for additional details.

Teaching & Partnerships

Rather than operate inside of a black box, Anvil works with universities and institutes to help bring SEM knowledge to the public.

Anvil’s executive team has taught Portland State University’s Search Engine Marketing class for 7 years running, offering the latest insight into SEM strategy and technique.
