What do Yelp, Pandora, and Timberland have in common? These three companies—and many more—first gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000, Inc. Magazine's annual ranking of America's fastest growing private companies. 3 Birds Marketing is proud to be included in the 34th annual Inc. 5000, announced at Inc.com in August 2015.
"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” said Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."
This accomplishment is due to the hard work of each member of the 3 Birds team—a team that has grown significantly in the last several years. 3 Birds ranked #1848 with 215% revenue growth between the years of 2011 and 2014, adding 44 jobs over this three-year period.
For CEO Kristen Judd, there's also a personal element to the recognition. “When we first formed 3 Birds, we set the goal of making the Inc. 5000 list in our first year of eligibility,” said Kristen Judd. “The fact that we have accomplished this is a testament to the passion, dedication, and tenacity of our team.”
The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2011 to 2014. Qualifying companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2011. Only U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent companies as of December 31, 2014 were considered.
