Benztown, a global leader in radio imaging, voiceover, programming and jingles, announced today that Inc. magazine has named the company one of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies for the second consecutive year. Benztown increased sales 796% since the start of 2010, placing it at number 596 on this year's list of 5,000 companies. Benztown is ranked as 8th Fastest-Growing Private Company in America out of the 60 Inc. 5000 companies in the Media sector. Last year, the company debuted on the Inc. 5000 as number 983.

Companies must have generated at least $100,000 in revenue in 2010 and at least $2 million in 2013 to qualify for the listing. They must also be U.S. based, privately held, independent and for-profit. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Under Armour, Timberland, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio, Oracle (News - Alert) and many other well-known companies gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.

Andreas Sannemann, Benztown Chief Executive Officer, said: "I am super excited we made the list two times in a row and improved our rank compared to last year. This is a pure team success and a milestone for the company. I am proud to work amongst and with the most talented people in the business."

Dave "Chchi" Denes, Benztown President, said: "Twofer, back to back, double the pleasure… no matter how you say it, the Benztown team gave 200% to make this prestigious list for the second time in a row, and I'm incredibly grateful to them and to our clients across broadcast radio and digital. They're twice the man I'll ever be, and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for their hard work, dedication and belief in Benztown!"
