CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second consecutive year, Red Ventures has been named one of the city's best companies to work for by the Charlotte Business Journal. The rapidly-growing online marketing and sales company was honored for its unique culture that rewards entrepreneurship and risk-taking.

Red Ventures ranked 6th among medium-sized companies on the 2009 Best Places to Work list. Winning firms were selected based on the outcome of nearly 40,000 employee surveys collected and analyzed by Quantum Market Research. Finalists were chosen based on employee responses to questions about each company's policies, practices and benefits.

Red Ventures generates new customers for leading home and business services companies in satellite television, home security, internet services and several other markets.

Red Ventures currently has 700 employees in five locations.

"We've worked hard to create an environment in which all employees can contribute meaningfully to the business and have fun at the same time," said Melinda Narciso, director of human resources.
