This marks the agency's eighth consecutive year receiving this recognition, underscoring its consistent growth trajectory and significant impact in the competitive marketing industry.
The Pacesetter Awards honor the top 75 fastest-growing private companies in the Atlanta area, with qualifying criteria including establishment before Q1 2022, employee growth, and demonstrating more than 50% sales growth over a two-year period, along with at least $1 million in revenue in 2024.
