SARASOTA, Fla. — The Manatee Chamber of Commerce has selected Aginto as its 2026 Small Business of the Year. The agency received the award Friday, Aug. 28 at the Bradenton Area Convention Center.

Chamber judges evaluate candidates on business growth, staff development, and community involvement. Aginto advanced from a field of 36 Finalists.

Aginto, a Sarasota-based digital marketing agency and Google Premier Partner, has been named 2026 Small Business of the Year by the Manatee Chamber of Commerce.

The firm has operated in Sarasota since 2011. Its services include search engine optimization, paid media, social media management, website design, video and podcast production, and AI strategy. Its client base is concentrated among home services companies, professional services firms, and healthcare practices locally across Sarasota and Manatee counties, and nationally with clients in 11 US States. 

"The categories this award measures are the ones we've built the company around since 2011," said Chris Williams, Founder and CEO. "Having that assessed by people outside our own building matters, and we're grateful."
