Houston—June 1, 2007—The Houston Business Journal has released its list of Houston’s top graphic design firms as ranked by 2006 design fees. Origin has climbed from 8th to 7th in this year’s rankings and, in this same time, nearly doubled in staff.

“Origin’s phenomenal growth this year can be largely attributed to the persistent passion, dedication and drive of our team,” says Jim Mousner, Origin’s founder. “The power of any group unified in its pursuit of a goal is unstoppable, and that is exactly the kind of a year we have had.”

At the time of submission, Origin employed approximately 40 designers, writers, public relations experts, strategic planners, programmers, account service personnel and support staff. The agency continues to grow, topping 50 employees by late spring, 2007.

Origin’s portfolio features advertising, marketing and integrated brand management for public and private retail, institutional and business-to-business corporations, including CenterPoint Energy, Eagle Global Logistics, Enterprise Products Partners, ExpressJet, Hydril, I/O, Pogo, Sysco and Comcast.
