Inc. Magazine Unveils Its Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000
NEW YORK, August 12, 2022 – Inc. magazine revealed that X Agency is No. 1828 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“When building the company, I thought the requirements for “success” were smarts and work ethics. Needless to say, I was totally wrong – it’s having a strong team. We wouldn’t be here without having such an amazing team, so this award goes to everyone at XA.” – Darwin Liu, CEO
“Being part of a fast-growing business requires intense personal growth while constantly learning. Leading a brilliant and creative team during this growth has been one of the most exciting times in my career. We are so thankful to our clients for trusting us with their businesses.” – Rachel Anderson, COO
Not only have the companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2022 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
