CHATTANOOGA, TN, October 21, 2026: — Webive Digital Marketing announced that Client Success Manager Madison Kachel has received the 2026 Young Professional of the Year award from the Chattanooga Area Chamber.

I am thankful to be part of a professional community that values collaboration, encouragement, and shared success. It takes effort to be seen and I am so thankful for that effort to be recognized both at the Chattanooga Chamber Annual Meeting which I heard had more than 600 attendees, and online since the news was made public. While I only spoke to a handful of people at the event, I love being part of the community & I know I still have many connections to make after the event!"
