Market Makers - Marketing Maestros are on Cloud

Incredible growth of 600 per cent looms for talented team of promoters.

A marketing company is heading for catastrophic heights with a potential for 600
per cent growth this year. Market Makers, which set up in October 2003 with just
one employee, has already seen rapid revenue growth in the first quarter of this
year - about 200 per cent. But if expansion continues at its current pace,
managing director Paul Thomas, 23, thinks he will be looking at a £1m turnover by
the year's end.

It's not growth he is shy about shouting about. It is also growth that has mostly
been due to word of mouth. He said; "We want to be seen as the market leader
and we want to be the best in the UK. It's also proof for our clients - look at the
growth we will have this year!" And he added; "We want to grow the company as
best we can but the main thing is to get the best possible deal for our clients."
Market Makers, based at the Portsmouth Technopole, Kingston Crescent, offers a
full-range marketing experience for other firms, form telemarketing, direct
marketing, appointment leads and the internet. It has 40 clients, local and
national, on its books, most of whom have seen growth since the company was
brought in. Its clients range from one-man bands to top-end clients like Jaguar.
The company describes its brief as getting sales for other firms, and is available
24/7 for its clients.

Some of this may involve business advice if it feels the client is trying to
concentrate on the wrong thing. Mr. Thomas said the growth has been because of
the quality of the staff he has headhunted into the firm. The head counts stands at
21. Mr. Thomas, of Southsea, said: "Growth has really been this year. We've
really pushed the staff numbers up. We always go for the highest quality staff we
can get and everyone who works for us has to be top-end."
