You might wonder "why a PR firm in Austin?" or have a deep-seated belief that "all the good firms are in NYC." To debunk that theory, check out the top 10 reasons why INK in Austin makes sense:

  1. Technology is the largest industry in Austin (it's also the Music Capitol of the World - we like to work AND have fun) - dubbed "Silicon Hills" for the high-tech companies making Austin home including Dell, IBM, Freescale, Apple, HP, AMD, Applied Materials, Cirrus Logic, Cisco, eBay/PayPal, Hoover's, Intel, National Instruments, Samsung, Silicon Laboratories and Sun Microsystems
  2. Austin ranks #2 globally for per capita employment in IT & computer manufacturing coming in behind only Silicon Valley and ahead of Singapore (Silicon Valley Index, 2007)
  3. Fortune Magazine listed Austin as #1 Best City to Live
  4. In 2008, Forbes rated it the 3rd fastest growing city in the nation
  5. Austin is the most wireless city in Texas and #3 nationwide with hundreds of Wi-Fi access points (Intel)
  6. Named Yahoo! Internet Life's #2 Most Wired City in America
  7. Adults in Austin read and contribute to blogs more than those in any other U.S. metropolitan area (The Nielsen Company 2007)
  8. According to the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory annual ranking of leading utility green power programs, Austin Energy's Green Choice is #1 in the nation
  9. MoodysEconomy.com rated Austin as the #1 best place for business in the US economy
  10. Home to the University of Texas Longhorns - need we say more?
