Inc. Magazine Unveils Its Fourth Annual Exclusive List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000
Jacob Tyler Ranks No. 665 on the 2010 Inc. 5000
with Three-Year Sales Growth of 458%
NEW YORK, August 24, 2010 -- Inc. magazine today ranked Jacob Tyler NO. 665 on its fourth annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Music website Pandora, convenience store chain 7-Eleven, Brooklyn Brewery, and Radio Flyer, are among the prominent brands featured on this year’s list.
“The leaders of the companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression,” said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. “The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs.”
“We are extremely pleased to be acknowledged on the Inc. 5000 list and in the company of such great organizations,” said Les Kollegian, Jacob Tyler CEO and Chief Creative Officer (CCO). “As well, to be recognized within the top 75 companies nationally in Advertising and Marketing is a huge accomplishment. The past three years, last year most specifically, have been incredibly difficult to maintain our growth path. Yet, we have managed to make it through successfully and with remarkable growth. Furthermore, we have seen incredibly strong growth for the first three quarters of 2010.
Charlie Van Vechten, Jacob Tyler President and CCO added “Both our company and clients have benefited by expanding our services through strategic acquisitions, narrowing our core marketing focus, and delivering results-based brand communications." Mr. Van Vechten then added, "...we have been recognized for the past three years as one of San Diego’s fastest growing privately held businesses and I feel that this recognition and our enhanced business strategy will only help us to exceed our profitability goals and gain more growth recognition nationally.”
Despite the fact that most of this year’s measuring period of 2006-2009 took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50 percent from last year. The effects of the recession are seen, however, in the median three-year growth rate, which dropped to 96 percent from last year’s 126 percent. This year’s Inc. 5000 employ a record 1.4 million people, up from one million on last year’s list. With unemployment remaining stubbornly high, policymakers and business leaders will do well to look to the Inc. 5000 companies for fresh ideas on achieving growth and creating jobs.
