Brian Loebig Honored As Wheaton’s 2022 Local Business Person of the Year

Posted on by Robin Renee

BOSTON, MA: February 16, 2022 — The largest online referral network for small businesses, Alignable.com is announcing the results of its national search for leaders who’ve gone above and beyond guiding peers and supporting entire communities as they strive to recover.

Brian LoebigToday, Alignable’s network has chosen Brian Loebig of Loebig Ink, LLC as Wheaton’s 2022 Business Person Of The Year!  

The 2022 contest is the most popular competition Alignable has ever hosted, marking a 64% increase in participation over last year. In all, 2,400+ small business owners were elected by their peers to be their Local Business People Of The Year across the U.S. and Canada.

During the contest, which ran from Jan. 10 to Feb. 11, 2022, 160,000+ votes and 32,000+ testimonials were posted praising thousands of local leaders for helping their peers and communities through a turbulent year with many challenges: skyrocketing inflation, labor shortages, supply chain problems, and COVID variants.

Because of these issues, 70% of small businesses have yet to recover and recovery rates have declined 13% since December, according to Alignable’s latest poll of 6,305 small business owners. This recovery reversal highlights how important it is for the contest winners to continue their work helping even more businesses bounce back from pandemic-era hurdles.

Giving Is The Glue Holding Us Together

Alignable Local Business Person of the Year 2022 badge“One of the ways our organization gives back to the local business community is through regular personal connections and engagement on platforms like Alignable,” said Loebig. “These platforms can help us be stronger together and can extend and strengthen the community at scale. Our team at Loebig Ink is excited to receive this award and encourage everyone to build each other up online and in person.”

Loebig received a special badge on his Alignable profile, recognizing this win. In past years, the awareness generated through similar contests has spurred expanded connections, as well as new business for many winners.

Driving Recognition Is Key

“This has been a fun and rewarding contest to watch unfold,” said Alignable’s President & Co-Founder Venkat Krishnamurthy. “Local business owners are the heart and soul of their communities and they ought to get way more recognition for all they do. Friendly competition aside, this contest generated some incredible peer testimonials (to the tune of 32,000+), showing exactly why small business owners are stronger together.”

    “Brian is very professional and knowledgeable, but most of all I liked the fact that he did not overwhelm me with suggestions; instead, he motivated me with a "small attainable goals" approach. The tasks he gave me to complete were simple but they made a huge difference in my business and the results are incredible. As a business consultant and a social media guru, he has an invaluable wealth of knowledge to share. ”

Works diligently to make sure everyone is successful, and he truly is a master of collaboration. I can't thank Brian enough for his hard work at helping me make sure I was a success from my efforts on the web. ”

I have worked with several website designers in the past, and by far Brian offered the best product at a reasonable price. His customer service is excellent, putting the needs of our non-profit first. He delivered a visually appealing site, trained us to update content quickly and easily ourselves, and supports enhancements outside our expertise quickly. I would hire Brian again without hesitation and look forward to working with him in the future.” ”
