TWINSBURG, Ohio (PRWEB) November 14, 2017 -- Today, 216digital, Inc., a custom development, design, and digital marketing company announced the creation of a business development grant to help Cleveland-local businesses cultivate their brands. The grant, dubbed the GrowCLE grant, will provide complimentary development, design, and marketing services to local businesses and non-profits in the hopes of promoting continued regional growth and awareness of local industries. Applicants for the grant will be evaluated on their company’s mission, local impact, and perceived needs. 216digital, Inc. will then work with the chosen recipients to identify opportunities where their expertise can help make the biggest impact.
As to what inspired the grant, 216digital, Inc. founder Greg McNeil said "I believe we all have a responsibility to give back. No one becomes successful without lots of hard work and a little luck along the way. We hope, giving back in Cleveland, where we began 18 years ago, plays a role in the success of others in the community."
