Certainly
Certainly is the first marketing technology group designed to meet the unique needs of certification organizations and their networks. Founded by former USGBC and IWBI staff, Certainly’s mission is simple. We believe standards and certifications should be easy to understand, trust, and use. Too often, they feel complicated, disconnected, and out of reach of the people who would most benefit from them. We aim to bridge the gap between certification organizations and their audiences, making it simpler to understand and benefit from the standards that shape their industries. More than that, we’re here to build community and drive progress. The certification world shouldn’t feel like a maze of red tape—it should be a force for connection, collaboration, and clarity. We’re working to make that a reality.
