What the Inc. Regionals Northeast List Actually Is
The Inc. Regionals program finds the private companies that are expanding the fastest in different parts of the U.S. The Northeast edition encompasses nine states and is one of the busiest business areas in the country, with businesses in finance, healthcare, technology, media, and everything else.
Companies must show that their revenue has grown organically and verifiably over the past two years, with no acquisitions—just real performance. It is a big deal to be ranked 21st out of 950 organizations in Advertising, Marketing, and PR.
The Number That Matters: 257%
Most marketing companies, especially small and mid-sized ones, think that 15–20% growth each year is a good year. It’s amazing to double your income in two years. This places the company in a group that very few enterprises can achieve, with a growth rate of 257%.

Arthur & Co. was named the fastest-growing company in Rhode Island with 829% growth over three years and was placed No. 491 on the Inc. 5000, the most famous list of fast-growing private firms in the US.

The Inc. Regionals Northeast No. 21 ranking is another chapter in the same story: steady, compounding growth based on a methodology that works.
As our CEO, Jeff St. Onge, has said before: “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's Behind the Growth
To be honest? More of the same, but bigger.
The opportunity we have now is bigger than it’s ever been. AI is changing digital marketing quicker than most organizations can keep up with. Tools that are smarter and less expensive are needed by small enterprises. Companies in the middle market require partners who can plan and act rapidly. There has never been a greater need for real, demonstrable digital growth.
We aren’t going to slow down. Being No. 21 on Inc. Regionals Northeast is not the end of the road. And based on how things have gone in the past few years, the next chapter is going to be worth paying attention to.
Thanks to the clients who believed in us and the team that made this growth possible.
We’re just getting started.
