Sligo boutique brand & digital agency Creation Media has achieved Business All-Stars Accreditation with the All-Ireland Business Foundation.

The experienced and talented team at Creation Media provides practical marketing and eCommerce services to small and growing businesses throughout Ireland.

They have been recognised for their fantastic contribution to indigenous SMEs and their conduct in the areas of performance, commitment, trust and customer-centricity.

Business All-Star Accreditation is an independently verified standard mark for indigenous businesses, based on rigorous selection criteria. The Accreditation is overseen by the prestigious All-Ireland Business Foundation, whose adjudication panel is chaired by Dr Briga Hynes of the University of Limerick and Kieran Ring, CEO of the Global Institute of Logistics.

Reacting to the announcement, Creation Media Founder Philip O’Brien said: “Creation Media is delighted to receive Business All-Star Accreditation. This accreditation is an outstanding achievement and recognises the hard work and dedication of our incredible team in providing a best-in-class service to all our customers.”

In achieving this accreditation we join a unique group of businesses and we believe this continues to demonstrate our commitment to improving our service to our valued customers and suppliers. We are immensely proud to be recognised as a Business All-Star accredited company.

Deputy Chair on the Adjudication Board Kieran Ring, said in support of the announcement: “Creation Media has achieved AIBF Business All-Stars accreditation, in recognition of the company’s conduct in the areas of trust, performance and customer-centricity. Creation Media is hereby included in the AIBF Register Of Irish Business Excellence.”

Managing Director of the All-Ireland Business Foundation Kapil Khanna said the Accreditation, which is now held by over 500 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards, but have nothing to measure them by.

He said: “We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics.”

The All-Ireland Business Foundation (AIBF) is an autonomous national accreditation body tasked with enterprise development and the promotion of Best-in-Class in Irish business.

The Foundation actively engages and supports its network through peer-dialogue, collaboration, mentoring and enterprise development activities. Companies are qualified for accreditation by completing an enterprise audit and are identified by their use of the AIBF’s Business All-Star Marque.
