San Francisco-based VerticleResponse, a self-service marketing solutions provider for small businesses, won gold in two categories at the International Stevie Awards. The company won gold for Best Communications/PR Campaign of the Year (budget under $10,000) and Best Twitter Feed.

VerticleResponse was nominated for 14 awards and won a gold, silver, or bronze in all 14 categories. In addition to the two golds, the company was awarded four silvers and eight bronzes.

“I have a lot of respect for the International Business Stevies because it attracts such an incredibly high caliber of companies from all over the world, and it’s great to see what businesses on the other side of the globe are accomplishing,” said Janine Popick, VerticalResponse CEO in a statement. “I’m so thrilled that the judges believe in our work to help small businesses grow as much as we do. It’s a massive achievement for the entire company.”
