New Haven-Based Agency Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary and Reappears on Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies
Connecticut communications agency, GEM Advertising, celebrates its 10-year anniversary with the second Inc. 5000 award in two years.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inc. Magazine has unveiled its 37th annual list of America's fastest-growing private companies, the "Inc. 5000," and 10-year-old New Haven, CT-based communications and marketing agency, GEM Advertising, has been named as number 1258. Inc. 5000 is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. This is the second time GEM is appearing on the Inc. 5000 list, showing a three-year sales growth of 385%. GEM also ranks in the top 10 fastest-growing companies in CT on the list.
Also this month, GEM is celebrating its 10th year in business, marking a milestone that only a small percentage of startups ever reach.
The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment — its independent small and midsized businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino's Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.
GEM Advertising's Chief Executive Officer Chris Bartlett said, "Once again, to be formally recognized through inclusion among America's fastest growing, privately-held companies is both an incredible honor and a positive reminder that we need to always strive to improve our offerings, and must do so by keenly observing and listening to what products and services our markets are asking for."
"Especially given the rapid rate of change in the marketing industry, we are thrilled to be recognized once again for the sustained growth we're seeing in both our US and Canadian markets," remarked Peter Kozodoy, the Chief Strategy Officer at GEM Advertising. "As we move into building more technology-oriented marketing platforms in the coming years, we're excited to see where the future will take us and the marketing industry as a whole."
Best known for its community-building approach of platform marketing, GEM helps clients vastly increase their reach and brand differentiation while dramatically lowering customer acquisition costs over time, particularly in the healthcare industry and related fields.
The 2018 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands now), is the most competitive crop in the list's history.

About Inc. and the Inc. 5000
Methodology
The 2018 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2014 to 2017. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2014. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of December 31, 2017. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2014 is $100,000; the minimum for 2017 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. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
