NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the fourth time since 2007, Inc. Magazine has named leading independent media agency TargetCast tcm (www.targetcast.com) to its Inc. 500|5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest growing private companies (http://www.inc.com/inc5000/profile/targetcast-tcm). This list honors companies that have shown significant revenue growth over a three-year period (from 2007 to 2010). During that time TargetCast tcm has grown 63%.
"We are extremely proud to be recognized again as one of Inc. Magazine’s fastest growing companies," said Steve Farella, CEO and co-founder of TargetCast tcm. "Our continued growth is a testament to our commitment to innovating to stay ahead of the curve, investing in top-notch talent, and achieving results for our clients."
Farella and business partner Audrey Siegel launched TargetCast tcm in 2002 with a mission to serve strong independent brands that are frequently underserved in global media networks. In less than a decade, TargetCast tcm has grown from a two-person shop to a 95-employee operation that develops and executes marketing communications plans for clients including New York Life Insurance, AMC TV, hotels.com, Expedia.com and Pfizer Consumer Healthcare.

"We started TargetCast with the idea that there was nothing we couldn’t achieve," said Siegel, TargetCast’s President and Director of Client Services. "We couldn’t be more proud of how the company has grown and the fact that industry publications such as Inc. are recognizing us for it."
