"Ivy Sea Online is my communication toolkit."
—Karen Carney, channel manager, inc.com—
(San Francisco, 2001) Inc.com, Incorporated, the nationally-recognized web community for entrepreneurs and online sibling of Inc. Magazine, sought out and selected San Francisco-based Ivy Sea, Inc. (formerly InnoVision Communication) as a content partner for their online business resource center. Both Ivy Sea Online and Inc.com appeared on a "Best of 1999 Sites" list in About.com's Entrepreneur community.
"When looking for great content partners, we aim for companies like Ivy Sea that have already been singled out and rewarded in their industry or in the larger world of small business," says Karen Carney, channel manager for leadership and strategy at inc.com. "I was searching for an entrepreneurial online community that celebrates smart, mindful communication."
"We’re thrilled to partner with inc.com to help bring a variety of leadership and communication skill-building resources to entrepreneurs," says Jamie Walters, Ivy Sea's founder and principal. "We share inc.com’s mission of making high-quality, actionable information available on the web."
Inc.com’s content managers identified 34 articles from Ivy Sea Online for inc.com’s immediate information-sharing goals, and will tap new content from Ivy Sea Online throughout the year. Ivy Sea articles, tutorials and tip sheets on inc.com cover topics ranging from interpersonal and listening skills, employee and customer communication, and inspired leadership to visioning and planning.
"Of all the content partnerships we have forged here, representing a near mountain of useful information for our users, I can't remember being more excited and personally connected to a partnership," says Bruce Kohl, inc.com channel manager for personal and professional development. "I am thrilled to be a part of this!"
"Ivy Sea Online's content is terrific," adds Carney. "The articles are crystal clear and immediately useful, the range of topics is broad, and their advice is practical and real-world."
According to Carney, Inc.com user feedback suggests that the Ivy Sea content also speaks directly to companies where leaders, managers and employees alike want to "walk the talk."
