Petsky Prunier is pleased to announce it has advised CLEARLINK Technologies, LLC, a rapidly growing provider of online and offline performance-based customer acquisition solutions to a number of the largest suppliers of home services in the U.S., on a majority investment from Pamlico Capital.

Founded in 2004, CLEARLINK is one of the nation's leading technology-driven customer acquisition marketing companies.

CLEARLINK is based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company added more than 200 employees in 2010, nearly doubling the size of its workforce, and foresees substantial growth in the year to come. The investment from Pamlico will allow CLEARLINK to continue to scale while also expanding its services into adjacent verticals. CLEARLINK has received numerous awards and recognition from the Inc. 500, Utah Work/Life Awards, MWCN Utah 100, and Utah's Fast 50, among others.
