Acquity Group is listed as one of the fastest-growing companies on Inc.’s second annual Inc. 5000
Acquity Group, a leading services firm that focuses on digital solutions, has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. It was likewise listed as No. 49 on Inc.’s 2008 Top 100 Businesses in the Chicagoland metro area.
“Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism,” said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth.”
Boasting an impressive 313.5 percent sales growth over the last three years alone, Acquity Group has continued to surpass its revenue goals since its foundation in 2001. Acquity Group attributes this success to innovative strategy and ability to maximize the digital channel for some of the world’s top brands, such as General Motors, Burton Snowboards, and Motorola. As such, the company has continued expanding its staff; in the last two years, Acquity Group's headcount has doubled and the company now has six nationwide offices.
With a new regional office in Los Angeles, Acquity Group has recently extended its digital channel expertise to an area that is undergoing rapid business growth. According to Inc., Los Angeles is a hotbed of rapid expansion, ranking third overall with 244 of America’s fastest growing companies located here.
“Acquity Group was founded on the basis of entrepreneurial determination, and our success certainly proves resilient despite certain economic conditions,” said Chris Dalton, Acquity Group CEO. “Our services are expanding, most notably with the opening of our L.A. office, to address a need for comprehensive digital solutions in that marketplace. We have been fortunate to work with some of the top companies in the world that recognize our leadership in this arena. It is truly a pleasure to once again be acknowledged by Inc. for our continuing efforts.”
Those companies that made the prestigious list are invited to attend the Inc. 5,000 Conference, which will be held in Washington, D.C. September 18-20.
