Stream Energy's Ignite Subsidiary Officially Ranked as World's Largest Energy Network Marketing Firm

Online, May 18, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Stream Energy continues its reign as the world's largest network marketer of energy, with the announcement that the firm's marketing arm Ignite ranks 12th internationally on the recent list of the Top 100 Direct Selling Companies in the World as published in Direct Selling News.

The company moved up two spots from last year's ranking of 14th. In 2009, the firm had achieved a ranking of 16th.

"It is immensely gratifying to once again claim the top spot among energy network marketing firms in the world," said Stream Energy Chairman Rob Snyder. "Among the top 12 network marketing firms across all industries, Stream Energy is not only by far the youngest, but we are also the only firm whose success has been created solely based on sales in the domestic U.S. marketplace."

"It is a testament to the power of this concept, that in the roughly seven years since our firm's launch we are on our way to $5 billion in total sales. It is directly attributable to our industry-leading focus on helping entrepreneurs of all walks of life participate in energy deregulation in a manner previously not available to them," Snyder added.

Stream Energy, an energy provider based in Dallas, provides service to customers in five states. The firm has generated billions in total revenues, and it has been highly esteemed in JD Power and Associates consumer surveys regarding both residential and commercial energy service.
