AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Gongos Research today announced it has been named a Honomichl Top 50 U.S. market research company, as published in the 35th annual business report of Marketing News - an American Marketing Association publication. Based on 2007 gross revenues, Gongos Research ranked as the 46th top market research firm in the U.S. This is the first time the company has surfaced on the list since Gongos was founded in 1991.

Gongos Research has sustained a high level of organic growth - most notably in the past three years - with a 55% overall increase in revenues since 2004.

Additionally, the 2006 and 2007 rollouts of gongos iCommunities and metaCommunity - private online communities that fuel qualitative and quantitative research - have generated substantial interest among clients.
