In a significant milestone, CENTRIC has been awarded a contract with the County of San Diego, valued at up to $6.25 million, to provide media vendor services for elections through 2028. This achievement underscores a robust partnership founded on years of successful collaboration. The contract enables CENTRIC to leverage its expertise in strategic media planning, digital marketing, and creative services to enhance public engagement and voter participation in critical civic initiatives.

The journey of CENTRIC began with Shannon Brown, whose career started in 2000 with a consulting firm focused on navigating the media landscape with honesty and integrity. Inspired by a promise made to her mother, Shannon founded CENTRIC with a vision to inspire individuals and enrich communities. With her mom’s belief and the support of loved ones, Shannon created an agency dedicated to making a positive impact.

Today, CENTRIC is a women-owned small business that prioritizes transparent communication and empowers its clients. The dedicated team at CENTRIC is driven by a shared vision to inspire individuals and enrich communities through their marketing efforts for non-profit, government, and for-profit organizations. Their passion fuels them to find joy in inspiring people, driving positive change, celebrating success, and having fun while achieving exceptional results for their clients.

CENTRIC’s success is also attributed to the exceptional support from APEX, which expertly guided the business owner through the process of securing a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (GSA MAS) and the State of California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) contract awards. This greatly enhanced CENTRIC’s opportunities in government marketplaces. The APEX team has played a pivotal role in CENTRIC’s growth, fostering relationships that have exceeded expectations. Their exceptional leadership, training, support, and guidance have been invaluable.

APEX has opened invaluable opportunities for CENTRIC to connect with key business and government partners. The team is especially thankful for the tireless support and expert guidance from APEX’s senior procurement advisor and the dedicated assistance from the Regional Director and his exceptional team. APEX’s steadfast commitment and extensive support are crucial for any business looking to excel in government contracting and build significant relationships.
