I grew up in Mauldin, SC, close enough to the Greenville Braves stadium to see their 4th of July fireworks from my front porch. I lived in the same house until I left for Clemson a week before my eighteenth birthday.
Greenville is my home.
Every time I made the 45 minute drive back to town, Greenville changed a little bit — new buildings, new events, and new energy. By the time I left college, it was a different city. The people were the same, but their personality became tangible, reflected in the comfort of the downtown area, the generosity of the volunteers, and the welcoming nature of the business community.
Meanwhile, Engenius was born. Chris and I began from a desire to help companies and organizations understand how powerful of a tool the Internet can be. As we approach our second anniversary in business, we are reminded of how much we’ve grown. Our designs have improved to a high standard in creative and professional quality. Our approach to a project has naturally switched focus to the client’s individuality and purpose. We even speak differently than before, with a confidence in our services that only comes with experience and tested results.
Two years ago, we knew this day was coming. We knew that we would soon be able to point proudly to our portfolio, speak from experience, and provide true value to companies in the big leagues (that is, smart businesses run by smart people.)
What surprised us, however, was the personal nature of this particular community. Business relationships in Greenville are based on trust. When we reflect on the turning points of Engenius, the polishing of our product doesn’t seem quite as important as the steps we’ve taken to earn the trust of our clients or the relationships we’ve formed through common interest.
We’re proud to offer excellent services. They have been refined by experience and a whole lot of advice and research. We are especially proud to offer them in Greenville, because to us, that means contributing to the community that defines our hometown.
