Why it's growing: Maintains a flexible focus. To expand beyond its large-company customers, ePrize recently introduced a do-it-yourself promotion program, www.caffeinenow.com, for small businesses.

What's noteworthy: CEO Josh Linkner motivates his employees through the use of a fictitious arch-nemesis Slither, a competing company that has bigger clients and never operates at a loss. Linkner distributes fake press releases and newspaper articles to maintain a sense of urgency.
