One to One Interactive’s strong work for clients in the online space earned it the distinction of “Top Web Design Firm in New England” by the Boston Business Journal. With Web design accounting for $13 million of OTO’s $45 million gross revenue, the company has revolutionized the Web presence for clients in such fields as telecommunications, financial services, entertainment, biotech/pharmaceuticals, travel and non-profit.
Ian and Jeremi Karnell were also recognized by the Boston Business Journal among 40 Boston-area emerging business leaders under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions in their respective fields and communities. The identical twins have grown One to One Interactive over the last 12 years into the largest independent digital marketing firm in New England and one of the largest in the United States. Employing over 100 people in New England, the award-winning One to One Interactive works with such companies as Comcast Corp., McGraw-Hill, Kronos and Iron Mountain. The Karnells have made charitable giving and community service a priority at One to One Interactive, working on behalf of non-profit organizations that support children in need and providing over $1 million in pro-bono services.
“It is an honor to be selected for each of these awards by the Boston Business Journal,” said Jeremi Karnell. “Ian and I strive to make One to One Interactive’s body of work stand out, not only in our industry, but especially in the Boston area. With the great number of innovative companies and leaders that call Boston their home, to be recognized among them is humbling.”
In addition to the recognition One to One Interactive has received in the Boston area, David LaPlante, previously CEO of Twelve Horses and now Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at One to One Interactive, earned two prestigious awards for his innovation and commitment to helping establish the Nevada technology and entrepreneurial communities.
David was named to Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (NCET) Hall of Fame in recognition of his accomplishments as the CEO of Twelve Horses which have served as benchmarks for other Nevada technology companies and entrepreneurs. He was also recognized by the Nevada Business Journal as a 20/20 Visionary for exhibiting foresight in his business and adapting to make the current economic climate work for him and his business. David has established himself in the Reno-Tahoe area as a highly skilled and creative marketing professional who understands the industry and recognizes upcoming trends that can help his company and clients flourish in both the current and future economic landscapes.
“To be recognized by these two organizations is truly humbling and motivates me to step up the effort to help the region continue to prosper with emerging technologies,” said LaPlante. “As Twelve Horses becomes One to One Interactive, the Western market can rest assured that an even more high-level of innovation will be put forth thanks to the additional resources.”
