Innovaxis is now certified through the City of Chicago for working with government transportation agencies in Illinois and their prime contractors

Innovaxis has been certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) through the City of Chicago. This is in addition to being a certified minority and woman-owned marketing consulting agency.

Recognized under the Illinois Unified Certification Program (IL UCP), these certifications enable Innovaxis to work with government agencies, including the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metra, and Pace, and to serve prime contractors as a certified DBE/ACDBE-certified subcontractor.

“These certifications are more than just a milestone for us; they’re an opportunity to expand our impact,” said Lina Parnell, Innovaxis CEO. “We’re ready to support prime contractors and public agencies with the high-level marketing strategy and execution they need to succeed.”

Sean Parnell, Innovaxis president, added: “Our team specializes in developing and aligning marketing strategies with your business goals. With these certifications, we’re excited to bring this expertise to public projects and develop new partnerships that drive results.”

Innovaxis is eligible to participate in federally funded projects that encourage the economic inclusion of small, disadvantaged businesses as a DBE. These opportunities are broadened by ACDBE certification to airport concession-related contracts, further strengthening the firm’s ability to support diverse business initiatives within the transportation sector.

Innovaxis helps organizations grow by creating marketing strategies and delivering custom marketing projects and programs that meet communication and revenue goals, including brand storytelling, content marketing, SEO, website design and development, graphic design, PR, market research, and marketing automation. Focused on measurable results and long-term growth, Innovaxis serves clients across government, nonprofits, transportation, construction, manufacturing, distribution, software/SaaS, professional services, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t my professionally designed website generate good leads?

Even the most beautifully designed website can’t drive lead generation without the right content strategy, centered around a clear understanding of the needs and problems of your target market (i.e. brand story) and optimized for search to reflect the solutions they are searching for. Without that, you can waste a lot of time and energy on what are essentially random acts of marketing.

How important is brand storytelling for lead generation?

Brand storytelling is a powerful tool for connecting with your target market and a commonly missed opportunity to communicate the value of your goods and services to your audience. It’s built around understanding their challenges and your role in solving them, positioning your prospects as the hero of their story and you as their guide.

What’s the best way to track ROI from digital marketing efforts?

Simply asking, “How did you hear about us?” during calls and on website forms will help you attribute what generates leads and sales. Once you calculate how much sales is attributable to marketing and divide by the amount of that marketing investment, you will have your marketing ROI calculation.
