3 Media Web Joins the 2021 Inc. 5000 List of Private Companies

Quick Summary: Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million.

This week, Inc. magazine revealed that 3 Media Web is No. 3747 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

Every year this list provides a breakdown of the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its 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.

3 Media Web Listed at No. 3747 on Inc. 5000 List

“We are thrilled to be placed on the Inc 5000 list,” said 3 Media Web CEO Jessica Hennessey.  “We have an amazing team that has made this possible and look forward to watching our continued growth.” Companies that made the list, on average, have grown sixfold since 2016. During a stretch when the economy grew just 15 percent, that’s a result most businesses could only dream of.

Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s 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.

“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 we’ve 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.”

3 Media Web has been busy growing for the past twenty years, helping medium and enterprise businesses build their presence to achieve success on the internet. This year we were also awarded a National and Local Excellence award by UpCity. To be named as not only one of the best B2B service providers in the Boston area and one of the Top B2B providers in the United States by UpCity, and this recent honor from Inc. magazine––what a year it’s been! At the same time, we kept ourselves busy with the latest website redesign of our own website.

Methodology

Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2017 to 2020. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2017. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2020. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.)

The minimum revenue required for 2017 is $100,000; the minimum for 2020 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to three decimal places. There was one tie on this year’s Inc. 5000.  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 inc.com/inc5000.
