Mike Arce originally started the idea of Loud Rumor with his cousin in Peoria, AZ in July of 2008. It was originally called Fast Rumor, and began as a website that promoted different businesses online (not a web design company).
The name Fast Rumor just didn't seem to catch any attention and Mike didn't want potential clients assuming that we wouldn't be taking our time to do things right with each client. So, after a few hours of brainstorming the name was changed to Loud Rumor. We felt that we were a very energetic group that liked to make our clients known once bringing them on board. Loud Rumor just felt more appropriate.
In attempt to give our clients the best presence possible, we chose to use our "in-house" talent and help any clients that were in need of a new or improved website. After working on a few projects, we realized that this was slowly becoming our most popular service. Eventually, in November of 2009 we redesigned our own website to strictly promote our web design services. Over time, Loud Rumor continued to raise the bar by bringing in new experts for each new service provided. All the services were brought on for one specific reason: Make our websites absolutely amazing with anything the client needs… without having to go elsewhere.
By June of 2011, Loud Rumor added 5 new major departments: SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Video Productions, Domains, Social Media and Mobile Application Development.
Mike Arce now runs the company with his wife, Marjon Arce and his best friend since junior high in New Jersey, John Paul Di Pasquale. They started the company in Mike's house and now have 2 separate locations and are looking for a third.
"Our team is not only growing, but growing strong. Every person on our team has the same goal in mind: Take care of our clients, make Loud Rumor a household name that people trust and continue getting educated to master our crafts to improve our performance."
