For the 6th Time, Yes& Makes the Inc. 5000

Aug. 19, 2024

Inc. recently revealed that Washington D.C.-based full-service creative agency Yes& ranks in the top 25 percent of the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

This marks the 6th year that Yes& has placed on the Inc. 5000. Earlier achievements were in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The rankings are based on agency revenue.

Founder & CEO Robert W. Sprague said:

“My deepest thanks to the clients and team members that made this growth possible. Being named to the list six times tells us that ‘positivity + possibility’ has staying power and brings real value to the sectors we serve.”

 

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20.

Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief said:

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list. To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
