It’s all a numbers game in business, and last year, 352
Media Group exceeded them all.
In 2011, 352 Media Group brought on 24 new employees for its
Web development and digital marketing team, a 61% increase from 2010. Its staff
wasn’t the only thing growing, though. The company also increased its revenue
by almost 50%, closing out the year at $5.2 million. Geoff Wilson, president
and CEO of the digital marketing and Web
design company, expects to bring in $7 million in revenue in 2012.
352 Media Group was also named to the INC 500|5000
list for the fifth consecutive year in 2011.
That’s a long way from its humble beginnings in a dorm room
at the University of Florida.
“It’s exciting seeing how far we’ve come,” Wilson said. “I
can’t wait to see what new opportunities will allow us to continue giving our
customers a better experience in Web development and digital marketing.”
Coming off this banner year, 352
Media Group has also hired five new employees in first 18 days of the
New Year.
Joining 352 Media Group’s digital marketing team is Brian
Russell and Vance Miller. Russell comes to 352 Media Group from Gainesville
Health & Fitness, where he worked in marketing and public relations since
2006. He’s a native of Montgomery, AL, and a graduate of Auburn University. Miller
has worked in marketing since 1998 and search engine optimization since 2001.
352 Media Group also created a small business web
design division in 2011 that gives small businesses
and start-ups big business results in Web design, SEO and social media
marketing without the big business budget. With the addition of three designers,
the core Web solutions team has grown by 60 percent since its founding.
“We’ve really been able
to distinguish ourselves from being just another Web design company that offers
template Web packages for clients that have smaller budgets,” said Jan
Siemaszko, director of sales and marketing for 352 Media Group’s core Web
solutions team.
Joining the small business division as full-time designers
are Michael Dang and Alex Silva, who both came from the 352 Media Group’s fall
internship program. Silva is a graduate of Sante Fe Community College, and
Dang is a graduate of the International Academy of Design and Technology in
Orlando. Jason Garner will also be
working for the small business team on a part-time basis.
