Beetle Press earns certification by Women’s Business Enterprise National Council

LACONIA — Beetle Press, a PR business specializing in marketing and media strategy, was recently awarded national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Center for Women and Enterprise, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. 

WBENC certification is the gold standard for women-owned businesses in the United States.

“I’m excited about this endorsement as it demonstrates that Beetle Press and its services are pre-vetted and legitimate, and that helps foster trust,” said owner Janice Beetle, adding, “Trust is important to me — and it’s sure important to my clients.”

Founded in 1998 by Beetle, of Laconia, Beetle Press offers marketing and public relations strategy and oversight as well as writing and editing services. 

In the Lakes Region, Beetle serves the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction as a PR partner, and she writes for The Laconia Daily Sun. 

The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the Center for Women and Enterprise is a meticulous process, including an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. 

The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51 percent owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and that the business has appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.
