Market Wire, October, 2008

For the first time, Goodman Marketing Partners (GMP), a full service direct marketing company based in San Rafael, CA, has been designated as one of the "Top 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies" in the San Francisco Bay Area. The list is compiled annually by the San Francisco Business Times.

The listing criteria are based on % of net revenue growth from FY2005 - FY2007. Six-year-old GMP is ranked 50th on the list. The company's revenues grew 95.1% during this period.

"I am ecstatic and honored that we're a part of this prestigious list that includes some of the most successful businesses in our region," says company founder and President Carolyn Goodman. "This level of recognition is a great motivator for our team and reinforces our commitment to business excellence."

The company is no stranger to awards and recognition for its business accomplishments, and creative, and strategic direct marketing achievements. Earlier this month, GMP was honored with an ECHO Award from the Direct Marketing Association for its work with KCSM-TV. In September, GMP was recognized as one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the country by Inc.com, the online arm of Inc. magazine, when it unveiled its annual ranking in a list that it describes as the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy -- America's independent-minded entrepreneurs.

Other GMP awards include several ADDY® Awards, a Caples Awards, a Benny Award from the Philadelphia Direct Marketing Association, Print Industries of America Awards and Stevie Awards from the American Business Awards which recognizes outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide.
