ACME RECOGNIZED FOR FOURTH YEAR AMONG OREGON'S FASTEST GROWING PRIVATE COMPANIES

Portland, Ore. - June 22, 2009 - For the fourth year in a row, ACME Business Consulting LLC has made the Portland Business Journal's list of Fastest-Growing Private 100 Companies. The company was honored at an awards ceremony on June 18th.

"We're pleased be recognized as one of Portland's fastest-growing private companies," says Scott Demorest, co-founder of ACME.

ACME has built a reputation for managing complex projects.

"We focus on strategic initiatives developed by an organization's management team," says Demorest. "Our expertise lies in helping execute those strategies."

ACME's success lies, in part, to its ability to recruit and retain talented and accomplished employees. Prospective employees undergo a stringent interview schedule to ensure the right fit. Demorest says that the firm’s turnover rate is 5 percent.

In a city where most CEOs, CIOs and COOs have heard of the company, ACME has become a household word among local executives. Demorest says that with name recognition come clients. "A lot of our referrals come from clients who tell colleagues. When an executive realizes what we can do because he or she has heard it from a peer, we'll often get a phone call."

With core competencies in project management, ACME is able to work with clients across a broad range of industries. "We're versatile," says Demorest, "and we rely on our clients to bring their subject matter expertise to the table. We bring the discipline necessary to get it done."

This year's recognition by the Portland Business Journal is a clear indication the folks at ACME have discovered the right formula to make things happen.
