ADVANTAGES NAMED TO THE INC. 500 LIST OF AMERICA'S
FASTEST GROWING PRIVATE COMPANIES
For the second consecutive year, Advantages appears on the Inc. 5000 list,
entering the elite Inc. 500 at No. 494 with Three-Year Sales Growth of 771%
NEW YORK, August 17, 2016 – Inc. magazine today ranked Advantages NO. 494
on its 35th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's
fastest-growing private companies. Advantages also ranked in the Top 10
Fastest Growing Advertising & Marketing Companies in NYC. The list represents
a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s
most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Companies such as
Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and
many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees
of the Inc. 5000.
“I never set out to make the Inc. 500, but that's the result of an amazing,
Purpose-driven team that does whatever is needed to get our clients noticed,”
said Fran Biderman-Gross, CEO and Strategista of Advantages. “To break into
the top 500 companies, alongside such hyper-growth companies like Square
and Dollar Shave Club is the cherry on top of this recognition. To know that
such iconic businesses as Microsoft, Intuit, Oracle and Zappos are included
among the Inc. 500’s alumni is mind-blowing.”
The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies
featured in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive crop in the list’s
history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year
growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the
companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three
years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period.
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

"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and
Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a
team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great –

usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every
company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”
