NEW YORK, August 12, 2020 – Inc. magazine today revealed that AdCellerant is No. 1128 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
With the current economic climate, digital advertising has become even more important than ever, and Colorado is home to several companies that are leading the pack in that space. AdCellerant is proud to top the list encompassing 6 other elite marketing companies in the front range that have graced the Inc. 5000 list three years or more including Strategus (#1728), SocialSEO (#1901), Comparison (#2235), Choozle (#2421), Revenue River (#2793), and SmarterChaos.com (3806).

“People will never be replaced completely by technology in marketing and we are proud we have kept our entire team together to celebrate the honor of being on the list for the 3rd year in a row in spite of COVID” States Brock Berry, CEO and Co-Founder of AdCellerant.
Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.

Methodology
The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2019. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2019 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.
