Package You Selected as First Personal Brand Development Company Honored With Ziggs’ Website Quality Award

Month’s Corporate ZBest Award Recognizes Excellence in Online Profiles for an Arizona-based Executive Image Consultancy

Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 1, 2006 -- Ziggs, Inc., the fast-growing business people search and online image management platform, today announced that “Package You… Specializing in Great First Impressions” has been selected as corporate winner of the Ziggs ZBest Profile Award for February, 2006. Package You is the first personal brand development consultancy to be awarded a ZBest Profile Award for their website’s image consultant profiles.

Introduced in January 2005 to help set the Internet’s website standard for a quality, professional, online profile, the ZBest Profile Award is awarded monthly to both one organization and the one individual that has developed and presented the most professional online profile listed in the Ziggs Index. Enjoying rapid international growth, Ziggs now provides people search and profile services for customers in over fifty countries. As a result, Package You was selected for this honor from an extensive pool of global companies listed in the Ziggs Index of Professionals.

Ziggs believes that Package You’s online consultant profiles are an excellent example of a profile style that successfully enables each image consultant to present herself in a highly valuable and professional method online. Each profile is anchored with a highly professional photograph that builds trust in the individual and is also valuable for use with virtual introductions. In addition to a photo, each profile provides helpful information on the individual’s expertise at Package You -- their specialties in professional development, business etiquette and image refinement.

The Package You profiles also present key information that underscores the consultant’s strengths in her field, including books she has authored, such as “Getting Hired…It’s More than a Resume,” plus certifications earned and leadership roles performed for associations and organizations important to the business. The profile content is positioned within the context of helpful links about Package You, including information on visual impact, business etiquette, international protocol and much more. Combined, these elements create an online profile format that sets an example of excellence.

Package You’s online profiles enable the consultancy to build brand awareness and engage website visitors in a very professional yet personal manner,” said Tim DeMello, founder and chief executive officer, Ziggs. “These online profiles are valuable business tools that showcase the company’s most important asset – their team of highly experienced and seasoned image experts.” To see an example of a representative profile, people search at Ziggs for “Robin Craig.”

Winners are chosen by Ziggs at the close of a monthly review process that includes an assessment of the professionalism, content value, brand value and creativity of all online profiles in the Ziggs Index. The professionalism measure weighs the overall quality of the entire profile, including the photograph. The content value measure rewards profiles that present the most valuable information to a prospect or client reviewing the profile. The brand value measure assesses the profile’s level of success in communicating the company brand and corporate identity within the profile. The creativity measure seeks to reward profiles that are creative in their efforts to communicate all of the above three elements. In combination, these measurements set the standard for the definition of a quality online profile.

Companies and individuals who wish to submit their online profile for consideration for future Ziggs ZBest Profile Awards can e-mail their profile submission to ZBest@Ziggs.com. Entries received by the last date of a given month will be reviewed for consideration for the upcoming month’s award. Winning entries are announced in a press release, presented online at www.Ziggs.com, and receive a ZBest Award for display at their place of business. Help Ziggs help the industry raise the standard for professional online profiles, and submit your quality profile for consideration today.
