We are excited to announce that Dooley Social Studio is an Honoree of the Goering Center’s 22nd Annual Family and Private Business Awards! Our team was evaluated by an independent panel of judges and was selected as one of only 10 honorees to receive this prestigious award.

This year’s Family and Private Business Awards recognize companies that exemplified strong business practices and a “commitment to connection” even during social distancing. Our mission at Dooley is to craft stories that connect, so we are deeply honored to have our work recognized.

When the pandemic hit, the Dooley team took quick action to help at-risk clients. With a focus on authentic and frequent communication, we made sure they were making the most of the growing importance of digital and social media tools to connect with customers and other stakeholders online.

Grateful to be in a position to weather the uncertain times, we knew we also had to give back to the community. We offered complimentary social media workshops, covering topics like LinkedIn best practices and Facebook advertising. Later on, we were proud to bring back our Social Media Show & Tell event and went the extra mile to hand-deliver attendees a care package.

The Dooley team is so grateful to be recognized with this award from the Goering Center. As a business led by twin siblings, it was also gratifying to be awarded in the Family category as a company that has adapted best business practices while contributing to local economic and community growth.

Matthew and Keri share this award with both their all-star team and the amazing clients that make it all possible! They also send a special “THANK YOU” to their friends at Mackey Advisors for continued partnership—and for nominating Dooley Social Studio for this award!

About the Award

This annual recognition program from the Goering Center for Family and Private Business at the Carl H. Lindner College of Business highlights successful family and privately-owned businesses that are “critical to the sustained vibrancy of Greater Cincinnati’s economy.”

The Family and Private Business Awards is in its 22nd year, and typically honors Cincinnati regional businesses that exemplify the best in family and private business practices. This year, the awards criteria focused specifically on stories of intentional connection with employees, vendors, stakeholders, customers, family members, community, and core business values, at a time when traditional connections were not possible.

There are an estimated 4,500 family and private businesses in the Cincinnati region, more than 400 of which are members of the Goering Center for Family and Private Business. However, membership to the Goering Center is not a prerequisite for the awards or for nomination.

The Goering Center is affiliated with the University of Cincinnati and is the country’s largest university based educational non-profit for family and private businesses. The Center’s mission is to nurture and educate family and private businesses to drive a vibrant economy.
