Converge Consulting Projects Another Year of Record Growth
Cedar Rapids, IA (PRWEB) February 20, 2015 -- On the heels of a record-setting year, Converge Consulting has increased revenue projections for FY’15 after an unparalleled first quarter. Though the regional economy indicates a slowing pace, Converge continues to pace above benchmarks.
The firm recently announced growth of more than 100% for FY’14, the second year running. Midway through Q1 FY’15, Converge is on track again to double revenue from FY’14.
This news comes after a year of tremendous success. For Converge, 2014 included the release of the industry’s first inbound marketing focused book, the first higher education inbound marketing conference and presentations at more than 20 industry events across the country.
In addition to industry contributions, the firm has continued to grow. Moving to a new location in the rapidly developing New Bohemia district of Cedar Rapids, the Converge team continues to grow and form new partnerships with notable schools like UCLA, Tulane, Notre Dame and Texas A&M.
This rapid growth continues to outpace the local economy. Ernie Goss, MacAllister Chair and Professor of Economics at Converge partner school Creighton University, recently released The Iowa Business Conditions Index, downgrading Iowa’s index to 52.2 in January, down from 53.4. The recent manufacturing layoffs by firms such as John Deere and the strengthening dollar, cited as the reasons for the economic downgrade, have not impacted the firm.
Ann Oleson, CEO, attributes the firm’s success to its strong partnerships.
“We continually strive to delight our partners with measurable and meaningful results. When we deliver success on a daily basis, it is only natural to find success ourselves.”
Converge plans to continue this success through familiar activities, including Converge 2015: An Inbound Marketing Conference for Higher Education. Like last year’s conference, Converge 2015 will focus on what is new and next in higher education marketing. Additionally, the firm plans on adding staff and expanding offices to accommodate for growth.
Converge Consulting is a higher education inbound marketing firm with offices in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Manhattan Beach, California. Converge uses what’s new and next in content strategy, search engine optimization, digital advertising, web analytics and visual storytelling to positively impact student recruitment and alumni engagement for colleges and universities around the world.
