Four San Marcos Businesses were Recognized this Year with Awards and Videos created by GoBeRewarded.

Our video team spent most of February shooting and editing a series of videos commissioned by the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce. To celebrate their successful completion, our entire team attended this year'sSan Marcos Chamber of Commerce’s Business Recognition Luncheonheld in the ballroom Cal State San Marcos where the videos (below) were played for over 400 city officials and local business leaders.

Each year during this event that doubles as theState of the City Address, four San Marcos businesses are recognized for their innovation, growth, and community involvement. This project gave us access to businesses and organizations who are on the cutting edge of their industry; it was our pleasure to share their stories with the North County San Diego community.
