California-Based Marketing and Sales Agency Named to PROMO Magazine's 100 List

REDONDO BEACH, Calif. (June 16, 2003) - Campaigners Inc., a results-driven sales and marketing agency, has been recognized as one of the fastest growing promotional agencies in the country by PROMO Magazine. Out of the top 100 promotion agencies in the country, Campaigners ranked No. 56 in the overall agency and No. 19 in terms of growth with a two-year growth rate of 68 percent. PROMO Magazine is the promotional marketing industry's leading publication and provides insights into using promotion marketing as a strategic component of the overall marketing mix.

"This is an extraordinary accomplishment for Campaigners," said Melissa Orr, president, Campaigners. "We have seen remarkable growth and success this year with clients such as Microsoft, Samsung, Fujifilm, Sierra Mist and Jacuzzi Spas among others. We are confident we'll have a bigger impact and greater ROI measurability in the promotions marketing industry in the upcoming year."

For the past 10 years, PROMO Magazine has ranked the top 100 marketing promotional agencies to recognize the most talented and inventive in the promotional marketing industry. With the help of PROMO's annual 100 list, agencies are able to determine how they measure up to competitors, while calling attention to their strengths to existing and potential clients.

To qualify for the PROMO 100 list, agencies must agree to be evaluated both quantitatively (revenue results) and qualitatively (creative measure of three campaigns within the year). Through this evaluation process, PROMO editors then rank each agency by its two-year revenue, its growth rate, quality of work and its combined qualitative score. The growth ranking accounts for financial performance over a three-year period.

"The entrepreneurs you'll find on the Inc. 500 have the type of attitude we need to get this economy moving again," said John Koten, editor-in-chief, Inc. "For them, a tough market is not an excuse for poor performance, but an opportunity to innovate and rise above the competition."
