Dream Local Digital named to Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies List for Second Year

Rockland, Maine – Dream Local Digital, a national digital marketing agency based in Midcoast Maine, has ranked in the 38th annual Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This is the second year in a row the company has made the prestigious list, a feat only 1 in 4 companies who make the list ever achieve. Dream Local has ranked 3,100 on the list with 119% growth in revenue over a three-year period, an increase in ranking from 3,237 in 2018. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. 

“Our team of #HoneyBadgers has worked tirelessly over the past ten and a half years to build this business from an office over my garage to a national company helping clients and partners in more than 65 cities, and I couldn’t be more gratified and proud to be recognized in this way by Inc. magazine. We are working with customers both small and large to help them promote their businesses via our online marketing programs and are having a positive economic impact not only with the jobs we are creating at our own firm, but with the growth we’re fueling at our clients’ businesses nationwide. Thanks to Inc. for its support and for recognizing our hard work. Being part of a rapidly scaling company isn’t for the faint of heart, and I’m honored to be among the game changers that are part of this list, including 11 other businesses in our home state of Maine.”  – Shannon Kinney, Founder & Client Success Officer

But, what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”

Methodology

The 2019 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2015 and 2018. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2015. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2018. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2015 is $100,000; the minimum for 2018 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
