ALL>> Premier branding and marketing services enterprise UpDog Media recently announced that they are celebrating top honors for their company’s cofounder.

Owner Kacy Carlsen is the official recipient of the 2017 Businesswoman of the Year Award from the Businesswoman’s Association of San Bernardino County (BASBC). The award is given each year to one woman entrepreneur

based on her contributions and generosity to the community and concern for the world around her. “Our team here at UpDog is extremely honored to be a part of BASBC and to receive this prestigious award. Each day we strive to deliver excellent work to our

clients not only because it reflects well on our business, but also because it uplifts the businesses in the community who come to us for help with their branding and marketing needs. Our focus has always been on adding value to our community through our work as well as charitable efforts, and we are grateful to those at the BASBC for highlighting the importance of giving back,” said Kacy Carlsen of UpDog Media.

BASBC is a professional and influential group of women within San Bernardino County whose ultimate goal is to build friendships and businesses. The organization focuses on supporting one another personally and professionally while significantly contributing to their communities. Kacy earned the award for business woman of the year 2017 because of the hard work she’s put in as the

owner of multiple businesses in the Inland Empire (including UpDog Media, Cal Skate GT, and Tropicana Tan) as well as her commitment to donating time, products, and services to many local charities and organizations. Carlsen went on to say, “I am extremely humbled and grateful for this prestigious honor. I hope to inspire the young ladies in the Inland Empire to pursue theirentrepreneurial dreams and to experience the best feeling ever, to give.”
