WordStream Makes Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing U.S. Private Companies for Third Consecutive Year
Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 18, 2015 -- WordStream Inc., a provider of search marketing software and PPC management solutions, was named No. 567 on Inc. Magazine’s 34th annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. WordStream is listed among other fast-growing private companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, and Zillow.
Founded in 2007, WordStream has seen dramatic growth over the past three years, reaching a 2014 revenue of $10.1 million. This signifies a growth of 806 percent in the past three years. Earlier this year WordStream was named an AdWords Premier Partner by Google, announced a partnership with Constant Contact, and was featured on Boston Business Journal’s 2015 Best Places to Work.
“Inclusion in the Inc. 5000 list for the third year in a row reiterates the significant momentum that WordStream has gained since being founded eight years ago,” said Ralph J. Folz, WordStream CEO. “Being recognized on a national level helps us execute our vision to make the power of search marketing available to businesses of all sizes, and help advertisers and agencies take the guesswork out of pay-per-click advertising campaigns.”
The 2015 Inc. 5000 list is among the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years.
"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."
