Inc. magazine today revealed that American Hometown Media is No.1742 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.
"This recognition is a real testament to the unbelievable dedication our team has brought to the table for American Hometown Media…they are a group of over-achievers and I am just so proud of them," said Dan Hammond, Founder, Chairman & CEO.
Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2020 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.
"The companies on this year's Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism."
Mike Meyers, President & CRO for American Hometown Media stated, "We actually placed in the Top 15 when compared within our sector of media. That means our platform to empower online publishers and influencers with a suite of next-generation products and services focused on content, monetization, and technology is really taking shape."
