Awards have been handed out annually for the last 29 years by the Metro Atlanta Chamber and Atlanta Business Chronicle, and honor the region’s outstanding small-business men and women.
Other award categories included emerging entrepreneur, experienced entrepreneur and the lifetime achievement award.
“Since launching AR|PR in 2012, every day I am amazed at our tech clients’ innovation, my team’s dedication and our collective growth,” said Williams. “Being named Early Stage Entrepreneur of the Year was an incredible milestone in our continued success. But equally as exciting to us are the industry awards that our team continues to rack up for our breakthrough client results. Our recent recognition affirms that our 360° approach and disruptive agency culture not only work – but exceed industry standards.”
