Petaluma, CA (December 22, 2016) – Intelisys, a ScanSource company and the nation’s leading Technology Services Distributor, announced today it was named an Owler HOT in 2016 winner in Petaluma.
Owler recognizes the top trending companies in cities around the world. They filtered through more than 15 million companies and picked 4,500 award winners across 600 cities worldwide. Recipients were chosen based on several different metrics, including number of followers on Owler, insights collected from the Owler community, social media followers, and blog posts over the past year.
Intelisys expanded its marketing communications team in 2016, and the increase in content production has paid off. Visits to the Intelisys.com blog increased 181% from June 2016 to December 2016, with the Ask the Experts blog series alone garnering over 4,000 views. All social media platforms on which Intelisys participates experienced significant growth in 2016, in terms of followers, engagement and clicks.
“We have a very engaged, high performing Partner community, but they are not ‘one-size-fits-all’,” said Jessica Maria, Marketing Communications Manager for Intelisys. “As we build our content and track analytics at a deeper level, we’re able to draw some incredibly useful conclusions about when and how our Partners and prospects choose to interact with Intelisys, and we’re able to make smarter choices about where we dedicate content resources. Our goal, at all times, is to support the growth and success of our Sales Partners, and I am quite frankly delighted that so many of our efforts in social media and content are hitting the mark. Anything we can do to communicate with and educate our community is a plus.”
