For those of us in the industry, we know that internet marketing is the fastest growing type of sales method. Everyday more and more people are doing their shopping online. Everyday more people are getting smart phones. So as the sector grows it is no surprise that some of the networks agencies and publishers responsible for the growth are showing up on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies. You can see the full list at:  http://www.inc.com/inc5000/2009/the-full-list.html

Three Advertising and Marketing firms made the top 10 with Integra Click (Click Booth) sitting highest at #5. One Technologies and Media Trust sit at 8 and 9 respectively. There a a bunch more in the extensive list and a lot of them are agencies who manage brands and other aspects of large merchants marketing.

The real test is wether or not these hot companies can sustain their growth (or even remain consistent) as the economy remains questionable. With retail stores closing locations and consumers becoming more comfortable with searching out their desired products or distributors online it stands to reason that the industry will continue to grow.

What do you think the growth of the industry will be in 2010?
