OCBJ names eGumball Inc. eighth fastest growing company with a two-year revenue growth of 516.1%

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 11, 2011 — In its 2011 report on the fastest growing locally based companies, the Orange County Business Journal has ranked Google Places Optimization and local SEO specialist eGumball in eighth position out of a thousand businesses listed. Given the county's corporate prestige, and the fiercely competitive local business scene, this is indeed a notable achievement by the Irvine-based firm which was also named as the 89th fastest growing privately operated company in the United States on the celebrated Inc. 500/5000 list back in September 2011.

"Coming less than two months after the Inc. 500 announcement, we are immensely honored to be named as one of the top ten fastest growing companies in Orange County alongside such a dynamic array of other local businesses. Once again we can hold our heads high at this confirmation that what we do makes such a fantastic difference to our many clients and their ongoing business success, because without their prosperity this achievement would certainly not have been possible," commented John Bauer, the CEO and founder of eGumball Inc., following OCBJ's announcement.

"Since our incorporation back in 2007, eGumball's phenomenal growth has been mainly due to the ongoing loyalty of an ever-growing number of small and medium businesses across America who continue to trust us to administer their online promotion in these tough economic times. The honor is made even greater by the fact that we're ranked second in the journal's advertising and marketing category.

"First and foremost I would like to extend a massive thank you to the innumerable customers whose continuing trust has made us the successful long-term service provider we are today. We simply couldn't have done it without their ongoing support."
