NEW LENOX, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 5, 2016) - South Chicago Marketing, Inc., a marketing and advertising company in the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago, has started out the year with a record breaking first quarter. They continue to set the bar high with more expansion plans in the mix for 2016. Current plans include two new branch locations by the end of June, and talks are already beginning regarding three more locations set to open before the end of this year. The New Lenox based marketing firm has represented some of the biggest names in the Home Entertainment and Electronics industries, and is now taking on clients from the Clean Energy and Telecommunications industries, giving them more products and services to offer to consumers.

With growth opportunities from new clients and new marketing territories more than tripling production, South Chicago Marketing has had to utilize their unique Management Training program to ensure qualified leadership on all fronts. Pedro Seminario and Leonte Paves, two Market Managers under CEO Joseph Pavone, are leading the team in their expansions set for June of this year. Pedro, who attended Saint Xavier University to study Marketing and Management, joined the company mainly because of the growth potential and hands on training program. "The best benefit of being in the company is getting back what you put in," shared Pedro. "Your work ethic determines everything."

Manager Leonte Paves, who started with the company under very different circumstances, has stuck with the company for similar reasons. "I started my career in the warehouse and manufacturing industry, but with a baby on the way I knew I needed a change," Leonte said. "I wanted to find a company where I wouldn't hit a ceiling, and South Chicago Marketing has provided that opportunity." Through the Management Training program Leonte was able to advance based on his own efforts, and is now reaping the benefits. "I wanted to earn the income I know I am worth, and after a lot of hard work building the groundwork, I am now able to create a financial future for my family with a strong support system, that otherwise might not have been possible."

Another crucial element in South Chicago Marketing's growth opportunity has been with their new clientele. In order to continue to work with Fortune 500 clients, the company needed a strong Campaign Manager to lead from the front. South Chicago Marketing found that in Assistant Manager, Jennifer Hendel. Jennifer studied Business Management, but after having her two children, went back to school to become a teacher. Her career changed course when she found the opportunity for growth and development in a position with South Chicago Marketing. "I was most excited that I had control over my own development, while also helping others to do the same," Jennifer told us. "I am a professional student for life, and my goals are to learn as much as I can while I continue to grow with the company."

To celebrate the success seen last year, CEO Joseph Pavone took his team to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas for a little rest and relaxation. With projections already showing almost double the numbers from 2015, Pavone is planning another trip, but this time to the 5 Star Hard Rock Hotel in the Dominican Republic. With the right team on hand, paired with some incredible rewards as motivation, South Chicago Marketing has set themselves up for another record breaking year. Utilizing a business plan proven to greatly increase their clients' production, their results continue to impress, all while opening the door for more opportunity in the future. "You can accomplish a lot alone, but you can accomplish so much more as part of a championship team."
