(PRWEB) May 19, 2005 -- Its well known that the Tampa Bay area is a thriving business center. The proof is in the numbers, which recently revealed that 10 public companies in the region topped $1 billion in revenue.

At the heart of the Bay Area is the city of St. Petersburg, which is a major contributor to the areas success.

When we applied for a business license in St. Pete, our office was listed as a Publicity Firm," says Cassie Chenevert, President of Savvy Buzz, Inc. The city didnt have a code in the computer for Publicity, because this isnt the type of company they deal with everyday."

St. Petersburg is constantly welcoming new industries, which may have been likely to plant roots in Tampa and other well known Florida cities in the past. Fortunately, more and more businesses are recognizing the value of the location, primarily, because it is the states fourth largest city and a gateway to the high-tech corridor.

We have the greatest number of households with a net worth in excess of one million dollars, in the region," says C.P.A. and owner of Americas Business Manager, Kerry Bingaman. As a result, my office frequently gets calls from out-of-state businesses which are in the relocation process."

Not only do wealthy clientele draw business owners to the region, but the strong manufacturing and information technology sectors also play a part. Both have been credited for luring new industries in the region.

Publicity is extremely important for ground breaking companies like those in the tech. sectors," says Kim Justice, co-founder of Savvy Buzz, Inc. If I started this company when I moved to the city years ago, we wouldnt have stood a chance because of the types of industries that were headquartered here."

Now, were one of the first publicity firms headquartered in the city," claims Mrs. Justice. Im sure well see plenty of other first time industries moving here for similar reasons."
