It's been about four months since ContextMG
relocated from Saugatuck to Grand Rapids, and already the firm has
added five jobs and plans to add three interns. At the time of the move
to 44 Grandville SW, the company expanded its offices to 3,600 square
feet.
"We've totally filled the whole place,"
says Brian Steketee, a partner in the business with David Greiner.
"When we first moved in we knew we had some flexibility in the building
and we've positioned ourselves to handle the growth."
That growth has been 100 percent since
the firm's inception in November 2007, and Steketee says it's on track
for 20 percent growth this year having picked up three new Grand Rapids
clients.
ContextMG added a vice president of
program development, a web developer, a senior art director and a
director of business development. An account coordinator and three
interns will join its ranks this summer.
"The permanent positions are real key
growth positions for us," Steketee says. "When we put our business plan
together we determined what we wanted to be when we grew up, and as
we've added clients we've had more and more need for more resources.
This will help position us for the next couple of years in preparation
for adding more business to the roster."
The company offers business to business
and business to customer marketing, and "two way conversation" for
clients who want to engage in social media marketing. In the last year,
Steketee says ContextMG added a suite of proprietary and
non-proprietary tools that measure and monitor any kind of pick up in
the marketplace, including blogs and web articles.
