SEPTEMBER 12, 2008

Phoenix—McMurry was ranked as the No. 48 Top Private Company and No. 13 Fastest Growing Company in Arizona during the 14th annual Arizona Corporate Excellence Awards event sponsored by the Phoenix Business Journal.

Both awards are overseen by financial firms and are based on revenues. The periods assessed were 2004 through 2007, a time when McMurry experienced 108.9 percent growth as it expanded from $21.6 million in revenue to $45 million.

“Arizona is a business-friendly state and hotbed for entrepreneurs and bright minds. There are some well-known success stories on this year’s lists like Discount Tire and GoDaddy.com,” said CEO Chris McMurry. “We’re pleased with the company we are keeping and our ambitious staff looks forward to climbing higher on both charts.”

McMurry was the only marketing communications firm to make either list, both of which were dominated by industries associated with real estate and development. Just a month ago, McMurry was also named to the Inc. 5000, a list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.
