It's been a long, winding journey for Liberty Center One, a journey that's not only continuing but picking up speed.

The Pleasant Ridge-based firm started out a dozen years ago focusing on automotive marketing. As the firm grew, it made increasing use of Internet hosting services, and then moved in that direction by buying Ann Arbor-based Web Elite.

"That was really the impetus for us to get into the hosting business," says Tim Mullahy, general manager of Liberty Center One.

Today the firm is hitting its stride with its new data center in Royal Oak, which has allowed the firm to grow to 30-35 people and another 20 or so independent contractors. Mullahy expects the firm to hire more people in 2010.

"We're pretty hopeful IT spending will be back up," Mullahy says. "We think there is some pent up demand."

One encouraging sign is the growth it has seen so far this year. The firm has been able to double its sales in the last six months and has experienced more revenue growth this year compared to 2008.
