FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Dec. 21, 2017)

Contact: Erik Greenfield, Communications Manager, 608-443-1952 (office), 608-669-7884 (cell)

MADISON – Today the United States Air Force announced it has selected Madison’s Truax Field, home of the 115th Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard, as one of two sites that will receive state-of-the-art, next-generation F-35A aircraft. Madison had been one of five finalist sites previously announced by the Air Force in December 2016. In response to today’s announcement, Chamber President Zach Brandon released the following statement:

“We are extremely proud and excited about today’s announcement for the 1,200 airmen of the 115th Fighter Wing, as well as for Greater Madison’s economy. The selection of the 115th to receive the F-35A ensures the benefits of the base – including $100 million in annual economic impact, emergency services for Dane County Regional Airport and tuition support for area students who serve in the Guard – will remain in Greater Madison for decades to come.

“This selection would not have been possible without years of commitment from the Wisconsin Air National Guard, the leadership of the 115th, the advocacy of Wisconsin’s congressional delegation, state leaders and local elected officials from Dane County, the Chamber’s partnership with the Badger Air Community Council and everyone who has shown their support through the Together Truax initiative. We are incredibly thankful to all of them for their hard work and dedication to making this day a reality.

“We look forward to welcoming the F-35A to Madison and continuing to stand with the men and women of the 115th.”

It’s a Hat Trick for Tingalls Graphic Design: Leading Regional Design Firm Voted Madison’s Top Website Development Company for Third Consecutive Year

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Date: 12/5/2017

It’s a Hat Trick for Tingalls Graphic Design: Leading Regional Design Firm Voted Madison’s Top Website Development Company for Third Consecutive Year

For the third year in a row, local Madison business leaders have voted Tingalls Graphic Design the area’s best website development company in InBusiness Magazine’s 2017 Executive Choice Awards. The firm also took top honors in the same category in 2015 and 2016. Winners are chosen by fill-in-the-blank majority vote by Madison executives, business owners and decision makers, having achieved top-of-mind awareness in the business community and representing the best of the best in local professional services.

Tingalls Graphic Design, under the leadership of Owner and Creative Director Tara Ingalls, achieved another major milestone in 2017: During their 17th year in business, the firm celebrated serving its 1,000th client. “At the end of the day, happy clients are what make the work we do so fulfilling,” said Ingalls. “Of course these milestones and accolades are wonderful, but my company wouldn’t be where it is today without the support and referrals from satisfied clients.”

One such happy client is Andy Abelman, General Manager of the Fluno Center on the UW-Madison campus. “Our website needs to convey the full scope of our offerings at the Fluno Center, as well as how we connect with the campus community. As I had already hired Tingalls to spearhead our print marketing efforts and felt confident they would do great work on the website,” he said. “Their expertise helped guide the process efficiently and in a way that was in line with our vision and our brand. We’re thrilled with the custom, user-friendly website Tingalls delivered and continues to maintain and update for us. When I receive calls from clients, competitors and business associates asking if I can share who did our website, I’m more than happy to compliment and recommend Tingalls.”

The entire Tingalls team would like to extend a big thank you to all their colleagues who voted in the Executive Choice Awards.
