According
to Shanna Kupre, marketing manager of Roger West, the company started
in 2007 with CEO Michael Westafer and a part time designer who is still
on staff. They worked with a handful of clients and shared a one-room office.
Westafer had success through word of mouth and
referrals and he was then able to hire on another part-time designer and
a developer.
By the end of 2008, Roger West had a fulltime
creative director, hired on Kurpe and increased the staff generally.
Profits also went up by 60 percent from July 2007 to July 2008.
According to Kurpe, the following
year Roger West increased the profit with about the same amount as the year
before but did not increase the staff.
The numbers are not in
for the current year, but Roger West is projected to have grown 60 percent again.
The
company has been able to keep growing from year to year despite rough
economic times because "we strive to be different," Kurpe says.
