Coventry Health Care of Georgia is also working with licensed insurance agents and brokers statewide to provide information to their clients.

“Our agents and brokers must pass a rigorous examination on Medicare and on our products before being allowed to promote our plans to beneficiaries,” noted Davis. “We want to be sure that Medicare beneficiaries get the information they want and need to help them make the right choice for them.”

Zenith Design Group Recognized as Top Cobb County Small Business

BUSINESS WIRE--Zenith Design Group, Inc., Atlanta’s brightest full-service advertising agency, has been named one of the Top 25 Small Businesses of 2008 by the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Now celebrating its tenth anniversary – a milestone for a fully self-funded organization – Zenith Design Group was founded as a web development company. Its evolution to a full-service advertising agency was the direct result of satisfied clients requesting a broader service offering. Zenith Design Group has developed a strong business marked by outstanding service to loyal customers who have fostered strong sustained growth buffered from market volatility. Since 2005, Zenith Design Group experienced a six-fold growth in revenue while tripling its staff.

“Our satisfied clients have propelled our growth: 93% of our business comes through word of mouth. We have flourished by providing creative, fresh, and thoughtful projects that drive sales, increase awareness, and communicate compelling messages,” said Bonnie Buckner Reavis, founder and CEO of Zenith Design Group. “We raise the bar with each new endeavor; this strategy has paid off. It is quite an honor and affirmation to be recognized as one of the top 25 small businesses in Cobb County.”

Nominations for the Top 25 Small Businesses of the Year were accepted earlier this year and chosen after a review by an independent panel of judges. Candidates were evaluated based on the criteria published by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Those criteria include staying power, growth in number of employees, increase in sales or unit volume, current and past financial standing, innovative products and services, response to adversity, evidence of contributions to aid community projects and overall management philosophy.
