Rhinebeck, NY – July 14, 2008 — Phoenix Marketing International today announced that a 32 percent revenue increase in 2007 has placed the company at 26th in the "Top 50 U.S. Market Research Ranking and Review."

“We are honored to be recognized as one of the fastest growing market research firms in the U.S.” stated Al DeCotiis, Chairman and CEO of Phoenix Marketing International. “It’s all due to the unique commitment that Phoenix team members make to their clients, to their profession, and to their company.

The Phoenix approach, both to custom research and to syndicated products, takes advantage of the industry-specific talent we have on board and of the sophisticated analytical groups that support them,” continued DeCotiis.
