NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Healthcare public affairs firm Jarrard Phillips Cate & Hancock, Inc. saw double-digit growth in 2010, making it the 14th fastest growing independent public affairs firm in the nation last year, according to the annual Public Relations Firm Rankings by O’Dwyer’s released last week.
The Nashville-based firm saw 39% growth with $3.28 million in net revenue in 2010.
