Downtown Ann Arbor-based re:group is setting some personal bests this year as the Internet marketing and branding firm continues to grow.
The 9-year-old company has hired five people over the last year, including a copy writer, a digital strategist and some creatives. The firm now employs 25 people and an intern and it sees its business growing more in the near term.
"This has been our best year ever," says Carey Jernigan, vice president of business development for
re:group. "We added
DTE Energy and
Citizens Bank as agencies of record. It's been a big, big year."
Over its first decade,
re:group has traditionally handled clients in finance, bio-tech, retail and franchising. The addition of an energy utility and banking institution is helping the company grow its customer base and set the stage for more growth in 2013, a strategy that has worked well so far.
"Every year we built onto the prior year," Jernigan says. "The economy is improving so our clients have more money to spend."
