Online advertising specialists Rockett Interactive ranked
#116 on the Inc. 500
Rockett is one of just 3 North Carolina companies
in this year’s top 120
Rockett Interactive, for the second year in a row, ranked among the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, placing at number 116 on the 28th annual Inc. 500 list from Inc. magazine. The online advertising agency ranked #13 in the Advertising & Marketing sector. Rockett is one of just 14 North Carolina companies ever to be ranked among the top 120 companies more than once. The Inc. 500 list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit and GoDaddy, along with hundreds of other powerhouses, have gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500..
“If you want to know which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500,” said Inc. editor Jane Berentson. “These are the most dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation, the ones finding innovative solutions to problems, creating smart systems, and inventing products we soon discover we can't live without. The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine’s tribute to American business ingenuity and ambition.”
“We are truly surprised, probably even more so than last year’s #87 ranking! There’s absolutely no question this unusual continued growth comes from 2 things. First, we’re rigorously careful with who we select for our growing team. They have to be extremely well qualified, and equally eager to commit to our professional disciplines and values. Second, all of us are constantly learning and innovating to stay at the front of the leading edge of our core capability of online media, maintaining delivery of excellence in campaign planning, research and analyses.”
Rockett Interactive, recently ranked number 17 in the Second Annual Business Leader Media listing of the Top 100 Small Businesses in North Carolina for 2009, also was selected as 2009 Business of the Year by the Cary Chamber of Commerce. They are a Google™ Advertising Professional “Qualified Company,” & a registered MSN ad Excellence Company.
