03.01.08 - Acquity Group has announced it has been selected by the Illinois Technology Association (ITA) as one of five finalists for the 9th annual CityLIGHTS Lighthouse Award.
ITA honors excellence in Illinois’ fast-growing technology community with the CityLIGHTS, five awards that recognize outstanding IT companies, executives, and advocates in Illinois. The Lighthouse Award is presented to the company that best represents the region’s reputation as home to the highest quality IT companies.
The recognition reflects Acquity Group’s status as a leading provider of strategy, design, technology, and governance solutions that major corporations, such as American Airlines, McDonald’s and American Express, use to increase competitive advantage, extend brands, and enable efficiencies across the organization.
These capabilities have fueled Acquity Group’s phenomenal rise as one of the nation’s premier consulting companies. Since its founding in 2001, Acquity Group has grown from four to more than 300 employees in five offices across the country, including its headquarters in Chicago. The company has enjoyed a profitable, 70% compounded annual growth rate since its inception, with annual revenues surpassing $54 million in 2007.
“We consider it a true honor that a respected organization such as the ITA is taking note of our growth and effort,” said Acquity Group CEO Chris Dalton. “A CityLIGHTS nomination speaks volumes about the hard work our employees put forth every day to set us apart from other companies.”
