J. Arthur & Co Named #6 Fastest Growing Company in New England by The Boston Globe

By: Jeff St. Onge

On March 18, 2026, The Boston Globe named J. Arthur & Co. one of New England’s 50 Fastest-Growing Companies. The company came in 6th place overall in the second annual list for the region, which was put together with the help of global data and analytical company Statista.

This recognition follows our No. 491 ranking on the 2025 Inc. 5000, where we were named the No. 1 Fastest-Growing Company in Rhode Island. To be recognized at the regional level as among the most resilient and high-performing businesses across New England is something our entire team is genuinely proud of.

Quick Snapshot

  • Ranked #6 among New England’s 50 Fastest-Growing Companies (Boston Globe / Statista, 2026)
  • 750.52% absolute revenue growth from 2021 to 2024
  • 104.12% compound annual growth rate over the same period
  • $2,054,807 in 2024 revenue
  • 16 employees | Founded in 2014 | Based in Rhode Island
  • Industry: Advertising & Marketing

What This Recognition Actually Means

To be eligible, businesses had to show that they made at least $100,000 in 2021 and $1.5 million by 2024. They also had to show that the growth was completely organic and not due to acquisitions. Statista checked and analyzed the compound annual growth rate to come up with the rankings.

This year, the lowest CAGR to make the list was 8.4%. Our CAGR was 104.12%, which means that we grew by more than twice as much every year for three years in a row.

The Globe said that the enterprises on this list “not only weathered one of the most turbulent periods since the 1970s but also excelled” by dealing with high inflation, high interest rates, labor shortages, and ongoing economic instability in the area. That context is important.

How We Got Here

The idea behind J. Arthur’s founding in 2014 was simple: a company’s website is its most valuable digital asset, the one thing it really owns, no matter what happens with algorithms, platforms, or the market. If you build that base right, everything else will build on it.
For the past few years, we’ve worked with mid-market firms that make between $10 million and $1 billion in revenue by providing them with integrated digital services that include strategy, engineering, design, and content. At the same time, we’ve kept working on our SBO website platform to give the 28 million small companies in the US who deserve more than a generic template access to enterprise-level digital infrastructure.
As our CEO, Jeff St. Onge, has said: “It’s exciting for our loyal and resilient team to see their hard work recognized, and for clients to know their growth marketing partner lives by the same values and credo they preach.

What Sets J. Arthur Apart

The difference is in how we describe it and how we measure it out.

We create digital systems that generate revenue, starting with the asset that our clients own completely: their website. From there, we come up with a consistent and clear way to get new customers that won’t fall apart if an ad platform changes its prices or a social media site changes its algorithm.

The result, for our clients and for us, is growth that compounds rather than fluctuates. That’s what 750% over three years looks like in practice.

What's Next

Being named one of New England’s 50 Fastest-Growing Companies is meaningful, but it’s not a finish line.

The opportunity in front of us has never been larger. AI is changing the way we do digital marketing. Small businesses need tools that are smarter and cheaper. Mid-market businesses require partners that can act quickly and plan at the same time. J. Arthur is made for that particular occasion.

Thanks to the clients who trusted us with their growth, the staff that shows up every day and gets things done, and The Boston Globe and Statista for seeing what’s possible when you stay focused on results.

We’re just getting started.
