Marion-based Badertscher Communications, specializing in business-to-business Industrial-Strength Marketing®, is pleased to once again be among the select organizations named to BtoB magazine's Top Advertising Agencies in the United States. Of greater significance is the fact that this Central Ohio agency, now in its 23rd year, has received such an honor five times.

BtoB magazine, based in Chicago, is the premier national trade publication serving the business-to-business marketing communications industry.

"Being recognized by BtoB as one of the leading marketing communications organizations in the country for the fifth time is truly an honor," remarked Steve Badertscher, president and creative director. "We owe this distinction in large part to the ongoing trust and confidence placed in us by our clients and the partnerships we've developed with our valued suppliers."

The Top Agencies list includes four categories: small - revenue up to $10.9 million (to which Badertscher has been named); midsize - revenue between $11 and $99 million; large - revenue over $100 million; and interactive agencies. Selection criteria include growth, client base and awards achieved during the previous year.
