Ignite Phoenix would not exist without the support of the community, and for our third event we really received some special assistance that we want to acknowledge.

The City of Tempe heard about Ignite, and was so excited to have an event like this going on they offered to help us find a way to bring it to Tempe. They understood that Igniting “Phoenix” included the whole Valley, and wanted to participate. They connected us with the gorgeous Tempe Center for the Arts, and helped us find a big sponsor to make sure everything happened in style.

That sponsor is Sitewire Marketspace Solutions, an interactive marketing agency in Tempe that just celebrated their tenth anniversary! Sitewire connects you with customers when, where and how they want, creating a trusted, aligned relationship that benefits you both. And they do it all digitally through things like search, blogs, social networks, email, wikis, videos, images, ads and your site.

We also want to thank Bookmans, a locally owned bookstore and “Entertainment Exchange”, Splinter Creative, a locally owned media and creative agency, and Authority Labs, the super simple web-based search engine monitoring and reporting application, for helping out with banners, programs, signs, and other goodies.

Every one of these sponsors is a local business, so please support the businesses that support the community, and make sure to thank them at Ignite!
