Arketi Group Named to Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies for Second Straight Year
Arketi ranks 1,898 on the 2009 list with three-year sales growth of 168%

ATLANTA, Aug. 24, 2009 – Arketi Group (www.arketi.com), a high-tech business-to-business (B2B) public relations and marketing firm, announced today its inclusion in the prestigious Inc. 5,000, Inc. magazine’s ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Marking its second consecutive year on the list, Arketi was ranked No. 1,898 nationally and No. 75 in the Top 100 Businesses in Atlanta.

“Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate,” said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “That’s why our list is so eagerly anticipated every year.”

Arketi was recognized for its aggressive growth as a provider of high-tech B2B PR and marketing expertise. Arketi’s work has been honored with more than 40 awards since its founding including earning coveted spots on “BtoB’s Top Agencies” list for the past two years.

“Our inclusion in the Inc. 5000 is possible because we have great clients that know they don’t have to look to the Northeast or West Coast when seeking high-tech PR and marketing counsel,” said Rory Carlton, principal of Arketi Group. “Providing the Southeast’s technology community with marketing and PR programs that generate business success has served both our clients and us well.”

With 209 Atlanta companies on the 2009 Inc. 5000, Atlanta is the fourth top producing metropolitan area for fast-growing companies.
