In addition to being named No. 1,454 in the Inc. 5000 this year, eZanga also placed 34th within the Greater Philadelphia Metro Area and ranked 147th within the Advertising and Marketing industry.
"With every challenge comes opportunity, and we feel the way we positioned ourselves during this tough year allowed us to continue our revenue growth and technology development," said Richard Kahn, CEO of eZanga. "We are honored to be included on the list once again and attribute the company's growing success to a devoted staff and supportive executive team."
"The leaders of the companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression," said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. "The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs."
The 2010 Inc. 5000 serves as a unique illustration of the profound changes taking place in the U.S. economy. The Awards are ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2006 to 2009. The minimum revenue required for 2006 is $80,000; the minimum for 2009 is $2 million.
Despite the fact that most of this year's measuring period of 2006-2009 took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50 percent from last year. The effects of the recession are seen, however, in the median three-year growth rate, which dropped to 96 percent from last year's 126 percent.
