  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bean Media 
Productions as they are honored by the Amherst Chamber of Commerce as 
the recipient of the 2013 President's Award.
   Bean Media Productions was founded in 2006 by Mike Bean to provide a 
wide variety of digital marketing services to local companies.
   As the internet became ubiquitous, Bean Media kept pace, adopting a 
sophisticated business strategy emphasizing web marketing and web media 
development.
   Bean Media excelled at internet marketing. The firm developed 
advanced strategies, using popular search engines and media sharing 
sites like Google and Youtube to access consumers, broadening their 
clients' reach through promoting videos online.
   As a web marketing company with foundations in traditional media 
marketing, Bean Media Productions appeals to a wide audience, from the 
consumers of today to the future base of our economy.
   Bean Media's focus on local companies is commendable. The success of 
such an advertising firm instills confidence in consumers to purchase 
local goods, ensuring our small businesses remain competitive with 
larger national chains.
   Mr. Speaker, I thank you for allowing me a few moments to recognize 
Mike Bean and Bean Media Productions for their excellence in 
advertising and great efforts to promote business in Western New York.
