New York, NY – September 5th, 2007 – Ward Media, Inc., a rapidly growing direct response advertising agency, and one of the top online lead generation media companies, today announced its inclusion as number #131 among the Inc 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies, published in the 26th annual Inc. 500 in the September 2007 issue.
“We are thrilled to be included in this year’s Inc. 500, as it validates our consistent hard work, leading edge technology and total commitment to customer service,” said Ward Media CEO Phil Friedman. “Our outstanding growth is most attributable to the dedicated work of our deeply talented staff and our tech department’s ability to build, and routinely expand upon, our breakthrough lead-management software platform.”
Since its inception, Ward Media has been successful in developing both large client and strategic vendor relationships. However, the company’s three year 1,404% revenue growth arose from identifying areas in online long-form lead generation that were either underserved or unaddressed and building a bridge to the solutions through uncommon vision and its own pre-eminent yet practical technology platforms. “We can only accept this fine accolade by recognizing the strong commitment of our customers to share our vision, provide feedback and collaborate with us on how to stay focused not on where their industry is, but rather where it is headed so that we are already there focusing on the next plateau when the rest of the industry arrives,” added Ward Media COO Craig P. McGuinn II.
“If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500,” said Inc. Editor Jane Berentson. “These are the most innovative, dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation, the ones coming up with solutions… creating systems that let us conduct business faster and easier... The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine’s tribute to American business ingenuity and ambition.”
