Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Interactive television pioneer Telescope has been named an Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Company in 2009 by Inc Magazine. This prestigious award is given to private companies based on percentage revenue growth over a 4-year period. Since 2005, Telescope has increased revenues 46 percent, building on its original success in developing high capacity voting applications for television and expanding its core services to incorporate mobile marketing campaigns for blue chip brands.

In April 2009, the company won the prestigious ad:tech Mobile Campaign of the Year award for its work on McDonald's Monopoly© program, which has been widely recognized as a significant step forward for retail integration of wireless services.
Telescope's CEO, Jason George, commented: "We are proud of the track record we've established for delivering some of the biggest and most complex digital projects in the American market. Because of this, we've consistently been able to bring on new clients and grow the business - and we've been profitable since Day 1. It's fantastic to be recognized by Inc 5000 and, with our results so far this year, we look forward to rising further up the list next year."
