A.wordsmith and three of our clients brought home hardware from the Portland Business Journal’s Fastest-Growing Private 100 Companies event on Thursday, June 7.

We were thrilled for our own #54 spot on the list, and proud to have supported UnoSquare, TerraFirma Foundation Systems and Propeller Consulting in earning their rankings on this year’s list, which is based on percentage of growth over the last three years.

Here’s a little more about our three winning clients:
 

UnoSquare

The software development consulting and staffing company took home the #27 spot. We work with CEO Michael Barrett and his team to develop thought leadership pieces and nab speaking opportunities, awards, and earned media placements (including a bi-monthly column with CIO Magazine) designed to showcase the company’s innovative approach.

TerraFirma #31

Boasting a three-year growth rate of nearly 132% TerraFirma has established a solid foundation for continued growth. We’re partnering with the foundation experts to boost their regional presence through media relations, thought leadership and content development.
