San Diego, CA, Aug. 23, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Coast brand agency MiresBall has been named to Inc. magazine’s ranking of the 5000 fastest growing private businesses in the U.S. for the third consecutive year, defying the national recession and continuing weak recovery.
The locally owned firm with 33 employees saw its ranking shoot up 560 spots from last year to 3,322.
In the past three years, MiresBall has added clients in the luxury products, healthcare and technology sectors, and increased revenues and staffing by 31 percent and 20 percent, respectively.
"Marketers were obviously stung by the recession and they continue to be challenged by the economic downturn," said John Ball, principal and creative director. "Yet many have taken the opportunity to refresh and reposition their brands in anticipation of a more sustained recovery, putting brand consultants - those who have the skills and know-how that marketers need - in a position to grow."
The firm, which consults with a variety of innovative start-ups and Fortune 50 clients, moved into larger offices recently to accommodate its strong growth.
Earlier this month, MiresBall was recognized by Outside magazine as one of the 50 best places to work in the U.S.
"We have the benefit of highly motivated, creative employees who contribute to an interesting mix of high-profile assignments," added Scott Mires, principal and creative director. "Their passion and dedication to delivering top-quality work has been critical to our growth, not to mention the success of our clients."
