NEW ALBANY, Ind.—SmartBox, a dental patient attraction company that offers digital and web marketing services for dentists, announced plans to expand its operation in Floyd County, Indiana, creating up to 100 new, high-wage jobs by 2022.
"Hoosier entrepreneurs continue to showcase that Indiana is the best place to start a business, grow a business and get a job," said Elaine Bedel, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. "I am thrilled to celebrate SmartBox's growth, and I am confident the best is yet to come as we work to take Indiana to the next level by growing our economy and developing the skills of our Hoosier workforce."
The homegrown-Hoosier and family-owned company is investing more than $1 million to double its footprint at its current 6,500-square-foot headquarters, expanding to occupy all three floors at 821 Mount Tabor Road in New Albany, Indiana.

These new positions are expected to offer average wages 65 percent above the state’s average wage.
"Expanding our facility allows us to continue attracting elite professionals while fulfilling our mission of helping dentists thrive," said SmartBox CEO Colin Receveur. "One of the biggest reasons for our success is the dedication of our team members. Each team member takes ownership of their role and works to build a more successful company."
