Benz Communications Ranked Among the Nation's Fastest Growing Companies by the 2013 Inc. 5000 and the San Francisco Business Times

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 29, 2013) - Jennifer Benz today announced that Benz Communications is ranked #64 on San Francisco Business Times' 2013 "100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the Bay Area," as well as #1,220 on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the US. Jen is founder and CEO of Benz Communications, a leading HR and benefits communication strategy boutique.

Benz Communications earned its Business Times ranking in the first quartile based on its revenue from fiscal year 2010 to 2012, during which it grew more than 240%, to $2.7 million from $1.1 million and increased the number of employees from 10 to 14. The ranking marks a second consecutive distinction for the firm, which was ranked #22 in 2012.

In addition, the firm is ranked #89 on the San Francisco Business Times' 2013 "Top 100 Women-Owned Businesses in the Bay Area," also for the second consecutive year (#98 in 2012).

Companies considered for the awards are based in the San Francisco Business Times' coverage area (the counties of San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo, Alameda, and Contra Costa, plus the city of Palo Alto).

"We're thrilled to once again be recognized by the San Francisco Business Times for back-to-back years. Both rankings are a testament to our exceptional team, and a committed group of clients who care as much as we do about helping employees make decisions about crucial topics like health care and retirement," stated Jennifer Benz, Benz Communications founder and CEO.

The rankings add to this year's accolades for Benz Communications, which in August was named for the second time to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. Benz Communications is ranked #1,220 overall, #47 in the Human Resources industry, and #65 in the San Francisco-metro area on the 2013 list.
