As 2010 comes to a close we’d be remiss not to look back and recognize just how much the social media listening space has matured this year. It’s incredibly rewarding for us as a company to see the widespread adoption and acceptance of social media listening and engagement in so many organizations. And seeing those that are really building social media communication into the foundations of their businesses makes us even more proud of the work we and you have been doing, and excited for what’s next.

We’ve achieved quite a bit this year at Radian6 and we wanted to share some of the highlights with you all.

• Radian6’s revenue in 2010 tripled over that of 2009.
• More than 1,000 new customers representing thousands of brands adopted the Radian6 solution in 2010.
• More than half of the Fortune: 100 are now using Radian6 to reach their social media listening, measurement, and engagement goals, including Dell, Microsoft, and PepsiCo.
• Our employee base grew by 150% to 220 employees in 2010, and we’ve got plans to double that in 2011.
• We were named a “leader” in independent research firm Forrester, Inc.’s “The Forrester Wave™: Listening Platforms, Q3, 2010” report.

None of what we accomplished this past year could’ve been done without the unwavering support of our customers and community. We are beyond grateful for the loyalty, feedback, and engagement of everyone who’s invested a piece of their business and/or themselves into Radian6 — this success of ours shows just how powerful social media can be, and just how important strong, reciprocal relationships are to the success of a company.

We have some incredible things planned for 2011 and can’t wait to share them with you. But for now, let us take a minute to say a heartfelt and humble “THANK YOU!” to all our customers, fans, and the greater social media listening and engagement community for putting your faith in us as we uncover new ground. 2010 has been an incredible one thanks to you all, and we’re looking forward to making 2011 even better.

Cheers, and happy holidays!
