Florida Polytechnic University part of TBBJs Fast 50 event

July 26, 2018

The 50 fastest growing privately held companies in the Tampa Bay area were honored recently, and Florida Poly was part of the fanfare as its connection with the tech hub continues to grow. One of the companies that was recognized was Sparxoo, an integrated digital marketing agency located in Tampa.

In 2017, Sparxoo played a critical role for Florida Poly in website management and digital services.

“Sparxoo and Florida Poly have a shared mission to bring technology and innovation to strengthen the future of Florida,” said Sparxoo CEO David Capece. “It was an honor for Sparxoo to provide digital marketing leadership to help fuel Florida Poly’s initial wave of growth.”

The Fast 50 rankings are developed by the Tampa Bay Business Journal and are based on revenue growth over the past three years.
