TargetCast tcm Named to Inc. Magazine's 500|5000 List of Fastest Growing Companies

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Sep 6, 2012) - For the fifth time in six years, Inc. Magazine has named TargetCast tcm (www.targetcast.com) to its Inc. 500|5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest growing private companies (http://www.inc.com/inc5000/profile/targetcast-tcm). TargetCast was honored for an impressive 71 percent revenue growth in the years leading up to its acquisition this March by MDC Partners. 

"Though we're no longer a private company, TargetCast will always embrace an entrepreneurial and independent spirit -- we're as focused on growth now as the day we started this business," said Steve Farella, CEO of TargetCast and Maxxcom Global Media. "We're extremely honored to be recognized by Inc. again this year."

The honor comes six months after MDC Partners acquired a majority stake in TargetCast -- a testament to the agency's tremendous success after only 10 years in business. Launched in 2002 by CEO Steve Farella and President & Director of Client Services Audrey Siegel, TargetCast now operates as part of MDC's media agency division, Maxxcom Global Media. The division, led by Farella, includes agencies: R.J. Palmer, Integrated Media Solutions, Media Kitchen and Doner, as well as Varick Media Management and TradeX. It represents $3 billion in media billings, with a large percentage in digital.

The companies on this year's Inc. 500|5000 list have created over 400,000 jobs in the past three years, and aggregate revenue among the honorees reached $299 billion. In a stagnant economic environment, median growth rate of 2012 Inc. 500|5000 companies remains an impressive 97 percent.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/5000.
