Blue Fountain Media Continues Phenomenal Growth In Difficult Times

Online, June 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Blue Fountain Media, a results-driven website design, development and online marketing company, is pleased to announce it has doubled annual revenues for the fifth consecutive year, showing earnings of $10 million with no incurred debt or investing from the outside again in 2010. The 5-Star Dun and Bradstreet rated firm also announces the 60 new hires in the third quarter of this year alone, tripling the number of staff even in these slow economic times.

"I strongly believe that difficult economic times are the best times to grow your business," says Gabriel Shaoolian, Blue Fountain Media CEO & founder. "When times are tough, every penny a firm spends is critical. Companies come to us because we have earned a reputation for delivering substantial return on their investment. Because of this, I'm happy to say, we have enjoyed an exponential growth in the last few years."

Continued expansion of award-winning Blue Fountain Media has been fueled exclusively on revenues earned from the company's growing list of satisfied clients, and recycling those revenues into the firm's expansion - both in website services that include online reputation management, copywriting, and proactive website maintenance, and in size and location, with 115 employees and new full-floor office space on Madison Avenue. With its Manhattan headquarters and offices in Europe well established, Blue Fountain Media is looking to open several more offices this year allowing the company to continue to take on even the most complex and sophisticated projects and deliver them economically and rapidly.

Invested heavily in the recruitment process, Mr. Shaoolian reports that in continuing to employ the most creative, business savvy design, development, strategic marketing and account management team, Blue Fountain Media has brought in greater expertise in mobile e-commerce, application development (including iPad and iPod applications), social media integration and crowd sourcing technologies for large companies.

"When your employees take that much pride in the work they do - and feel personally invested in the company - the results are amazing," says Shaoolian. "The people who own the company are the people who work here."
