The people who own this company are the people who work here. Every employee knows that the more successful we are, the more success they will enjoy as individuals. When your employees take that much pride in the work they do- and feel personally invested in the company- the results are amazing.

Gabriel Shaoolian, who has overseen Blue Fountain Media’s emergence as one of the top companies in the fields of website design, development and online marketing, was named as the company’s first Chief Executive Officer (CEO) today.

Under Shaoolian’s leadership,Blue Fountain Media has grown from a small boutique firm into a thriving company, delivering results-driven solutions to companies ranging from start-ups to members of the Fortune 500.

Not only does Blue Fountain Media design and develop websites that serve our clients’ business goals, their online marketing services have delivered remarkable results. Google "website design company" and you will see that Blue Fountain Media is at the very top of the organic results.

What makes this even more remarkable was that this has all been accomplished during one of the worst recessions in decades.

Since 2007:

•     Blue Fountain Media has tripled its revenues
•     Added new offices
•     Grown from eight employees to more than 70
•     Served dozens of new clients of all sizes
•     Earned a Five-Star rating from Dun and Bradstreet

Shaoolian, who founded Blue Fountain Media in 2003, has grown the firm to the point where it regularly delivers complex and sophisticated projects and does so both economically and rapidly. Recent projects for the National Football League and Procter & Gamble employ Web 3.0 technologies that result in back-end efficiencies that save both time and money.

As the company has grown, Shaoolian’s role has evolved. He has put in place a management team that gives Shaoolian the freedom to focus on the big picture.

“When we were a small, boutique firm, I never thought of myself as a CEO,” he said. “I saw myself more as a creative director.

But now, I’ve put the infrastructure in place, we’ve proved ourselves over and over. This is why I’m stepping up to the CEO level.”

Taking on no outside investors or debt, Blue Fountain Media’s growth has been fueled exclusively on the revenues earned from satisfied clients and those revenues have been re-cycled into the firm’s expansion- not just in size, but an expansion of services that now includes online reputation management, public relations services, copywriting and proactive website maintenance.

Blue Fountain Media’s success has not gone unnoticed. As Blue Fountain Media has established itself as a major player in the website development and marketing industry, it has been getting the attention of the investment community.

“We have fielded a number of offers from investors, but have turned them all down,” Shaoolian said. “The people who own this company are the people who work here. Every employee knows that the more successful we are, the more success they will enjoy as individuals. When your employees take that much pride in the work they do- and feel personally invested in the company- the results are amazing.”

While Shaoolian is proud of Blue Fountain Media’s many achievements, he is most proud of the team he’s put together.

“Our success is the product of hiring both talented and a caring people who are passionate about their jobs, and see it as a creative challenge,” Shaoolian said. “Our pro-active team sets us apart. Our people are passionate about what they do. They are responsible for the success we have already enjoyed and will be responsible for even greater success in the upcoming years.”

As for the plans for the future?

“Where do I see the company going in two years?” he mused. “Blue Fountain Media will be a household name in our industry. If you need a company you can rely on to do the job right, bring you quantifiable and meaningful results, our name will come to mind.”
