NEW YORK (PRWEB) August 17, 2021 - Inc. magazine today revealed that Gather, New York City-based innovation guidance firm, has been named on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nations fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economys most dynamic segmentits independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

Landing a spot on the Inc. 5000 list is a true testament to the hard work and dedication our network of Gatherers has contributed to enable this growth over the past decade weve been in business, states Justin Tobin, founder and president of Gather. From our humble beginnings venturing out to launch the first-of-its-kind innovation firm that would be the external partner so many businesses were searching for, to today being a community of over 100 remarkably talented independent practitioners were honored to have Gather recognized by Inc. for this achievement. Scaling a business is no small feat, and were so proud to have done that while delivering exceptional work that keeps our clients happy and our workforce feeling fulfilled.

Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this years list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.

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 at http://www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc., which will be available on newsstands on August 20.

The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled, says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis weve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.

In 2010, Justin Tobin set out to build the type of agency he felt was missing from the mix. As Vice President of Interactive Strategy and Transformation at American Express, Justin experienced firsthand the need for external resources that could deliver the high-level thinking of a consulting firm and future-forward design concepts of a creative agency, with the ability to execute and follow-through as a true partner to the organization. Thus, Gather was born.

Gather works with companies including IBM, MetLife, TD Ameritrade, and more, focusing on impact and velocity of work to drive real measurable results and lasting business transformation.
