PORTSMOUTH—Richardson Media Group (RMG), a media planning and buying and SEO agency based in Portsmouth, is proud to announce it has been granted B Corporation® certification by B Lab, the international non-profit organization committed to using business as a force for good.

RMG, a NH Benefit Corporation founded in 2014, will join a growing legion of socially responsible businesses in the New England area and 

around the world that believe in making a positive impact on communities, workers, and the environment through sustainable and inclusive business practices.

Owner and media director, Anne Richardson, credits her agency team for their enthusiasm and dedication throughout the rigorous certification process and also sends her deepest appreciation to the students and faculty advisors at the University of New Hampshire Sustainability Institute’s B Impact Clinic. Anne kicked off her B Lab certification effort in the fall of 2020 when she was selected to participate in the UNH B Impact Clinic. She worked alongside a group of dedicated undergraduate students who shared her interest in delving into ways a small business like hers could influence the world in a meaningful way.

“Earning our B Corporation certification is both an incredible achievement and an immense responsibility,” acknowledges Anne Richardson. “B Corp designation signals that our mission extends beyond our core services to the health and wellbeing of our employees, improving our environmental impact and using our voice to educate others.”

Well before officially earning their B Corp status, the RMG team has actively pursued a socially responsible agenda. They seek like-minded clients and agency partners, volunteer with NH Businesses for Social Responsibility and contribute a portion of their annual profits to educational nonprofits via 1% for the Planet.

Richardson Media Group’s B Corp certification marks a significant milestone for the women-owned, Seacoast-area media planning & buying and SEO agency. RMG joins over 1,645 companies across the United States that hold this distinction. Anne and her team pledge to continue their support of the B Lab mission, doing business to benefit people, communities and the planet.
