Digital Marketing Firm Expands into Phoenix Metro
After Significant Growth, Company Expands to Tempe, Ariz.; Seeks New Employees
Tempe, Ariz. – October 4, 2011—Knoxville-based digital marketing firm, Pyxl announced today it has expanded to the Greater Phoenix market with a new office in Tempe. The rapidly growing company is currently accepting applications for employees in the metro area interested in becoming part of its innovative team.
Pyxl has launched award-winning, enterprise-class websites and web applications for major organizations such as Pilot Flying J, one of the largest privately held companies in the US; the Consumer Electronics Association, the organization responsible for the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, the Consumer Electronics Show; and Carpathia Hosting, one of Inc. Magazine’s fastest growing companies in the US.
“This is an exciting time for Pyxl. Our profitable growth over the past several years has allowed us to consider other locations for additional offices,” said Josh Phillips, president of Pyxl. “After a nationwide search of potential cities to expand to, we determined Tempe was a great fit for our business model and corporate culture. It also presents a great opportunity for us to reach businesses that need enterprise-class websites and web applications.”
Pyxl chose Tempe for three major reasons:
“Pyxl’s decision to expand to Tempe further reinforces Tempe’s reputation as a destination market for 21st century companies,” said Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman. “Tempe provides a skilled workforce, high quality of life and low operating costs for our businesses. We are excited to welcome Pyxl to our community.”
The creation of Pyxl’s Tempe office will focus on growing Pyxl’s core service offering of enterprise-class web and application design and development in the western US while also providing for local job growth in both the short and long term.
As a small business that has experienced rapid growth in recent years, Pyxl has delivered a 3-year 47 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), and 2010 revenues grew 58 percent year-over-year, success the team intends to replicate in the Phoenix market.
“What’s most remarkable about Pyxl’s growth is that it happened during one of the most significant economic downturns in history,” said Phillips. “We’ve grown from 2 employees to 17, added free healthcare coverage for all full-time employees and expanded from under 1,000 square feet of office space to a brand new 4,500 sq. ft. facility. We are committed to having the same success in Tempe and creating a work environment that people want to be part of.”
The Pyxl team has also been involved with a variety of non-profit organizations, providing pro bono marketing services to support the unique missions of each. Pyxl plans to do the same in the Phoenix area, beginning by awarding one local non-profit organization a web design and development package valued at over $50,000, which the company also announced today in a release titled, “Pyxl to Donate $50,000 Web Design and Development Package to Phoenix Charity.”
Pyxl’s new office will be located at the Hayden Ferry Lake office building, where other well-known companies like Microsoft, Citrix and Metlife also have a presence.

Pyxl to Donate $50,000 Web Design and Development Package to Phoenix Charity
Digital Marketing Firm Currently Seeking Non-profit Nominations
Tempe, Ariz. – October 4, 2011— Do you know of a Phoenix-area non-profit in need of an improved online presence? Pyxl, a digital marketing firm that today announced its expansion to the Phoenix market, will donate a website design and development package valued at $50,000 to one deserving charitable organization.
As a company that has been involved with a variety of non-profit organizations in its headquarters city of Knoxville, Tenn., including the USTA Knoxville Challenger, the Helen Ross McNabb Center and the Knox County Election Commission, corporate giving is a key part of Pyxl’s business.
For example, Pyxl’s web and marketing contributions to the USTA Knoxville Challenger helped the tournament committee exceed its sponsorship goals by over 200 percent each year since 2009, efforts which have allowed hundreds of thousands of dollars to be donated to the Helen Ross McNabb Center. Additionally, in its creation of the “Work the Polls” campaign, Pyxl helped the Knox County Election Commission increase the number of college student poll workers by 5,280 percent.
“Giving back to the community has always been an important part of our company culture,” said Josh Phillips, president of Pyxl. “Over the past few years, we’ve worked to improve marketing outreach and raise money for education initiatives, medical causes and green initiatives in Knoxville, and we plan on being just as involved in our new home of Tempe.”
The Phoenix-area non-profit that wins the contest will be awarded the following:
For official contest details and to nominate a charity, visit http://www.thinkpyxl.com/tempe. Pyxl will accept organization nominations through October 31 before letting the community vote on the winner from November 7-30.

Job Growth in a Stalled Economy; Is Small Business the Light at the End of the Tunnel?
With an unemployment rate more than double that of five years ago, Arizona’s economy is struggling to lift out of its current slump, and although unemployment has decreased slightly in recent months, many believe there’s still a long way to go before the state can be comfortable.
According to the Arizona Department of Administration, Arizona’s unemployment rate is situated at 9.3 percent, .2 percent higher than the national unemployment rate which currently stands at 9.1 percent.
And although the state of Arizona added 52,600 jobs in August, consumer confidence continues to falter. According to the Behavior Research Center’s survey of 716 Arizona residents, 43 percent of Arizonans say times are bad, while only 20 percent consider business conditions to be good.
The Phoenix metro, however, seems to present the best opportunity for business growth, as most of the state’s recent job gains occurred in the area.
“About 75 percent of Arizona’s population is located in the Phoenix metro area,” said David Drennon, vice president of marketing and business development for the Arizona Small Business Association. “Phoenix’s prosperity creates business opportunities that don’t already exist in rural areas of the state. The big cities create leverage, expand [business] partnerships throughout Arizona.”
However, it’s not necessarily large corporations that are going to save Arizona’s economy, but rather small businesses with 500 employees or less, which make up approximately 97 percent of businesses in Arizona, according to Drennon.
"Economists have been telling us small business is where the most significant job growth will occur,'' said Susan Woodward, an economist with Sand Hill Econometrics.
What makes Arizona’s largest city unique is the great balance between population growth, low-cost housing, business incentives and an educated workforce, factors that are driving some small businesses to take a closer look at the Phoenix market.
“After consistent profitable growth and success in our Knoxville, Tenn. headquarters, we completed a nationwide search of potential cities to expand to before ultimately landing on Tempe,” said Josh Phillips, president of digital marketing firm Pyxl.
Pyxl’s team chose Tempe for three major reasons:
With a labor pool fed by over 300,000 current college students from Arizona State University, the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University, the Phoenix area is the home to an intelligent and innovative group of workers, and companies like Pyxl are taking notice.
“We’ve seen great success in Knoxville, and we feel like the Phoenix metro area is the right place for us to replicate that success,” said Phillips.
The creation of Pyxl’s Tempe office will focus on growing Pyxl’s core service offering of enterprise-class web and application design and development in the mountain and west coast regions while also providing for local job growth in both the short and long term.
As a small business that has experienced rapid growth in recent years, Pyxl has delivered a 3-year 47 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), and 2010 revenues grew 58 percent year-over-year, success the team intends to replicate in the Phoenix market.

Why the Phoenix Metro Area?
Phoenix is a hot spot for new businesses like Pyxl due to its excellent location, good access to a skilled work force and fine reputation as an attractive place to live. In addition, the university systems are among the best in the nation.
Why Tempe, specifically?
After a nationwide search of potential cities to expand to, Pyxl determined Tempe was a great fit for its business model and corporate culture. It also presents a great opportunity for the digital marketing firm to reach businesses that need enterprise-class websites and web applications.
Ultimately, Pyxl chose Tempe for three major reasons:
What will Pyxl do for the Phoenix Metro Area?
For decades, visitors have come to the Phoenix area in search of the myriad recreational activities the region offers, as well as for its dry, sunny climate. Last year, Arizona attracted 25.6 million leisure and business travelers, who poured nearly $11.5 billion into the state's economy. Approximately $5 billion was spent in Metro Phoenix. Recognized as a good place in which to do business, the city's positive job growth in 37 of the last 40 years helps make it corporate home to such companies as: US Airways, Best Western International, Callahan Mining Corp, Boeing Helicopter Company and U-Haul International.
Pyxl can help grow Phoenix’s current economic structure by providing jobs to the area for years to come. Our expertise in delivering high quality digital marketing services to local businesses and organizations will help boost the state’s economy and provide careers for Phoenix-area residents.
What is Pyxl’s Tempe address?
Our new office is located in the Hayden Ferry Lake office building at 60 E. Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 900.
When will Pyxl be open for business in the Greater Phoenix area?
Pyxl’s office is already open for business in Tempe, and we are looking to hire our first employees in the area immediately.
How many people do you plan on hiring, and in what departments?
We plan on starting with a general manager, who will help expand our client base on the West Coast, in addition to a graphic designer and a web developer. As we continue to grow in our new office, more positions will become available.
Why do I want to work at Pyxl?
With a growing, innovative team and award winning ideas, Pyxl is a brilliant place to work, encouraging creativity and fresh ideas while constantly focusing on achieving measurable results. The Pyxl team is known for its quality work and spirited company culture, which continues outside of the workplace.
All full-time Pyxl employees are given annual paid time off, as well as paid individual health, dental and vision insurance. There are also bonus opportunities and team trips scheduled throughout the year.
How does Pyxl plan to become involved in the community in the Greater Phoenix area?
One of the reasons Pyxl team likes to choose locations near college campuses is because of the company’s excellent internship program, which provides current college students real-world experience in graphic design, web development, public relations and social media. In Pyxl’s new Tempe home, the team plans to create an internship program similar to the one it has in Knoxville, in order to help college students succeed in their chosen career paths.
As a company that has been involved with a variety of non-profit organizations in its headquarters city of Knoxville, Tenn., corporate giving is a key part of Pyxl’s business. To kick-off its corporate giving in its new home, Pyxl will donate a website design and development package valued at $50,000 to one deserving charitable organization. For official contest details and to nominate a charity, visit http://www.thinkpyxl.com/tempe.
Finally, Pyxl has team members involved in a variety of professional associations in Knoxville, including the Chamber of Commerce, American Institute of Graphic Arts, American Marketing Association, American Advertising Federation and Social Media Club, involvement the company would like to see its Tempe staff replicate in the Phoenix market.
