History

Bridgetree was founded in 1995 by Mark Beck as a service to assist companies with USPS logistics. Prior to founding Bridgetree, Mark Beck spent 18 years in marketing data and production as a Marketing Representative for RR Donnelley and Metromail (now owned by Experian).

The company was built using internally generated funds and is not burdened by any debt or venture funding. The company's performance is very strong—sales have continually compounded at high rates since our founding.

The company makes and maintains large investments in quantitative talent, hardware technology, licensed and custom software to support sophisticated marketing programs and create intellectual property for our clients. Our content for research and other uses includes demographic, firmographic and other data for nearly every household and business in America.
