G5 Search Marketing Ranked One Of The “100 Best Companies in Oregon”
Bend-based company grabs No. 8 spot for small businesses, No. 13 overall
BEND, OR– February 27, 2009 – G5 Search Marketing Inc., a leader in local search, advertising and measurement solutions, today announced it has been named to the “100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon” list. The company was the highest-ranking small business newcomer.
“We strive to make G5 a great place to work. It’s nice to know that our efforts are paying off,” said G5 CEO Dan Hobin. “I feel very lucky to have the amazing team that we have. They are the main reason we have such a great place to work.”
Employee opinion accounts for a majority of the score in determining a company’s position on the list. G5 attributes competitive salaries, good benefits, stock options and a unique work environment to its leading position on the list. Being located in the outdoor mecca of Bend compliments the companies’ corporate motto of “Work Hard, Play Hard.” In summer, employees end the week at 1:00 p.m. on Fridays to ensure a full weekend of biking, fishing, hiking, golf or any of the other varied outdoor activities Bend has to offer.
This is the second award G5 has received in the past year. Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) named G5 “Entrepreneur of the Year” in 2008.
“G5 is one of Central Oregon’s best entrepreneurial companies and it’s no surprise to see them place so highly in Oregon Business Magazine’s list of 100 Best Companies,” said Roger Lee, Executive Director of EDCO. “We were very excited to name G5 ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ last year to recognize their explosive revenue and employee growth.”
Company rankings are listed in the March issue of Oregon Business. The top 100 companies were also honored yesterday at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.
