Hometown Hero Recognition Helps as a Recruiting Tool, Too

Share this Post:

If people are saying good things about your company, it helps you get gigs and the qualified people you need to ensure that you stay on that upward spiral. A case in point: Wayne Kwiat, YouTube’s “Dancing Roadie,” who was profiled in PLSN’s new NextGen column in July. “I happened to be glancing through my copy of PLSN a year or so ago when I noticed that Brown Note Productions here in Denver had won the Hometown Hero Award for the whole country. While I had heard of them, I knew of nobody there or much about what the company did. So, I sent an email to the owners just to congratulate them, since I thought it was pretty cool that a local company had won. Sara Knutson invited me to come take a tour of the facility. After the tour, I was offered a position, and the rest is history.”
