Downtown Ann Arbor-based Campfire Interactive is having quite the year, growing its sales numbers, revenues, staff. It was recently named to Inc. magazine's 2010 list of the 5000 fastest growing private companies in the U.S.

That's the second year in a row the 8-year-old company specializing in sales forecasting has made the list, primarily because of its revenue growth. The company has watched its revenue increase by double digits and expects it to grow by another 50 percent over the next year. Four hires have been added, expanding the staff to 30 employees and the occasional intern and independent contractor.

"Sales are projected to be up about 60 percent over last year," says Bill Steiniger, director of sales for Campfire Interactive. "We continue to offer a unique capability when it comes to sales forecasting. That where a majority of our sales are coming from."

Campfire Interactive plans to add five more hires for project management and computer programming positions. It also plans to grow its computer product line cycle management services.

"We need additional people," Steiniger says.
