When the Kansas City Business Journal named Plattform Advertising (Lenexa) one of the sixth annual Champions of Business, they definitely selected a business that has been around for at least three years and has a gross annual revenue of at least $3 million. But when you wrote that each had "far more than a pinch of integrity," you were mistaken about THIS company and its notorious call-center in Lenexa.
Please refer to the following regarding employment conditions at the call-center and the telephone harrassment that is perpetrated by Plattform Advertizing and its affiliates Career Advisor and the Target Admissions Support Center (TASC):

I was a victim of unwanted calls from this organization just this morning (my number is registered on both the Federal and Missouri state Do-Not-Call lists). I immediately found the above information online (which you somehow overlooked) and was then astonished to learn today, on Plattform Advertizing's own website ...

PlattForm named a 2012 Champion of Business by Kansas City Business Journal
LENEXA, Kan. – (May 1, 2012) – PlattForm Advertising, a leading Internet marketing and enrollment solutions provider for the postsecondary education industry, has been named one of Kansas City Business Journal’s 2012 Champions of Business. This is the first year PlattForm, a division of Ad Venture Interactive, is receiving the honor. The list honors companies that have set the standard for financial performance, industry leadership and community involvement.
Based on the unwanted calls this morning, I would acknowledge that this company TRULY is setting a (low) standard for "community involvement."
I would ask that you please NOT consider first-year selection Plattform Advertizing for a repeat honor next year.
Thank you.
