For the Fourth Time, iluma Agency Appears on the Inc. 5000 List

Inc. magazine ranked iluma Agency no. 3,457 on its 36th annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. We are proud to have qualified by achieving a three-year growth of 102% and to have made the list for a fourth year since 2015. In fact, less than 8% of companies who ever make the list are recognized 4 times. 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, Pandora, LinkedIn, and Yelp gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.

“Having our agency repeatedly recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in the US while also a Best Places to Work, is just evidence of our dedication to building a great team that invests in and honors our culture every day.” Says iluma Agency CEO and Founder, Aaron Lee. “That special kind environment always leads to continued growth.”

The 2019 Inc. 5000 list unveiled earlier this month is the most competitive crop to date. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year average growth of 481%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $206 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three.

iluma Agency provides frictionless franchise marketing with a focus on helping individual franchise locations, groups, and co-ops execute global brand messaging in their local markets. We are honored to be in good company with the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, including several franchise brands we work with: Orangetheory Fitness ranked no. 1,830, and Blink Fitness made the list at no. 2,734.
