AdRev (AudioMicro, Inc.) Ranked the USA’s #5 Fastest Growing Media Company in the 2015 Inc. 500

by Ryan on August 14, 2015

I’m pleased to announce that as part of Inc. Magazine’s 2015 Inc. 500 ranking of the USA’s fastest growing private companies, AudioMicro, Inc. (including our 4 brands – AdRev, DashGo, AudioMicro, & ImageCollect) was named as the USA’s 5th fastest growing media company (and #162 overall). This accolade is based on our actual revenue growth over the past 3 years, with revenue last year growing to $13.4 million. It’s the 3rd year in a row that we’ve made the Inc. 500 (we were #2 in media in both 2014 and 2013) and if the first part of this year is any indicator, we’re in a solid position to make the list for the 4th straight time next year. A special thank you goes out to our customers, clients, partners, and most importantly to our amazing team for all of your hard work through the years.
