FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 20, 2009 -- ATLANTA (April 20, 2009) – Solar Velocity, LLC, a leader in web development and interactive marketing, was named one of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce's Top 25 Small Businesses of the Year by the Cobb Chamber of Commerce and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for the seventh year in a row.

Cobb County businesses were nominated in the early months of this year, and an independent panel of judges evaluated the nominees based on criteria published by the U.S. Small Business Administration. After carefully weighing the companies' staying power, growth in number of employees, increase in sales or unit volume, current and past financial standings, innovative products and services, responses to adversity, evidence of contributions to aid community projects and overall management philosophies, the panel selected the 25 businesses that most embodied the Cobb Chamber's commitment to strengthening the economy and promoting the community.

One of the fastest-growing interactive marketing and technology services firms in the Southeast, Solar Velocity is no stranger to the prestigious list. Co-founder and CEO, Jason Swenk explains, "We are very honored to be recognized as one of the Top 25 Small Businesses for the seventh year in a row. That streak is a testament to our extremely talented and hard-working staff, and each year it has motivated us to work even harder."

The firm has produced measurable marketing campaigns and interactive software for hundreds of companies, including AFLAC, Lotus Cars, BellSouth, BP and 99X.com.

The Top 25 will be recognized at the Cobb Chamber's First Monday Breakfast on June 1. A member-supported business organization, the Cobb Chamber of Commerce works to bring business to the area, help established firms grow, and build the community through outreach and service.
