Pay-Per-Click Firm, Ravenwood Marketing, Named Number One Fastest Growing Small Business in Denver

(PRLEAP.COM) BOULDER, Colo., July 26, 2005 — Ravenwood Marketing, Inc., a leading performance-based search engine marketing firm, announced today that it has been named number one on the list of fastest growing small Denver-area private companies. The fastest growing small private companies list, published by the Denver Business Journal, recognizes the entrepreneurial accomplishments of rapidly expanding companies in the Denver area with revenues under $5.5 million, based on the largest percent growth in revenues from 2002 to 2004.

Ravenwood delivered an astounding 6,216 percent two year increase in revenues, with sales reaching nearly $4.4 million in 2004, up from just over $69,000 in 2002. The company received the honor at a gala awards ceremony held recently in downtown Denver. Previously, in May of both 2004 and 2005, Ravenwood announced that it was named to Boulder’s list of fastest growing companies based on one year revenue growth.

"We are honored to accept this award as we diligently expand and diversify our paid search business," said Bridget Jeffery, director of marketing programs of the three-person Ravenwood Marketing. "With companies facing continually rising pay-per-click costs in the marketplace, our performance-based approach has been warmly received by clients who want to grow online sales without shouldering additional financial risk.”

By running pay-per-click campaigns on an “arbitrage” basis, Ravenwood is able to send a constant flow of new customers to its ecommerce clients. The company accepts no money upfront and gets paid by clients only after it lands a sale or qualified lead on the client’s website.
